Default sheer webs

WHAT BOKUDA SAID!!! I said it too, earlier...if you're going to fit a sheer web in place, fit it tightly...(maybe snug is the word) between the ribs WITH contact. 2 reasons: snug means NO PLAY. Snug means LESS GLUE (weight). You snug it in there, 2-3 drops of CA and you're in business. I've been guilty in the past, but there really is no substitute for having good wood joints on a plane. It's the difference between being a hack and a craftsman. If it doesn't fit, we have the power to make another, right??? I struggle to be a craftsman, but I think the hangar is worth it....
