Question

Thank you very much. I have questions now
But...here's a bit of progress I guess. Never used a scroll saw before. I am surprised how well the parts fit after only the first cut, there's a bit of finite trimming to do on just about all connections but all in all, I'm pleased.








The issue I'm having now is I can't find the material size for the ribs anywhere on the plans. Am I missing something here? It LOOKS like ribs W-1,3 & 6 are 3/16" material and the rest of the ribs are 3/32". I don't want to guess and have bad things happen whilst airborne. I cut the spar slots to fit 3/16 and 3/32 material respectively, but is what I'm thinking 3/16" material really 1/4" and the 3/32" is really 1/8"? I've looked everywhere on the plans and I can't find squat. Any help is always appreciated. Here's a link to the plan file, the DL link is at the bottom of the page, it's a small PDF. https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=4906
