Well again I did a bit of prioritising on a quiet day at work yesterday...I cut the spar holes in the templates.
Then I got home and started messing around with the plans and discovered that I have the wrong set of them...one wing bigger than the other and the ribs that I've built are also bigger than the bigger wing plan...don't ask, I DON'T know...end of the day I will now have a full size Valkyrie instead of a 90% one as my ribs come out to 1mm bigger than 100% (that's sanding allowance) and that's a GOOD thing
Mike, if you reading this then take note, make sure you print the plans correctly, only thing I can think of is that the rib template sheet was not printed to the correct size as I know I checked two wing halves together to get an idea of size so I could easily have mixed my plans up and have the correct 90% ones with all my other plans, I didn't however check the template sheet against the plans to make sure of rib sizes.
The difference in size is about 50mm on overall cord and around 200mm on half span.
