Default Left Outboard wing section

I laid out the hand cut ribs on the spruce spars and the went back and set and glued all the ribs. I started from the outboard rib #20 and worked inboard to rib #11. I then glued in the trailing edge and then leading edge. Upon gluing the trailing and leading edge I then built the incidence jig. Utilizing the jig, I glued in rib #10. The incidence from the jig turned out to be a bit much. After measuring the incidence, it turned out to be 5 degree so I adjusted it back to 4 degree and when clamped to wing look much better than 5 degree.
