Default RE: GP Tracer

Well, I'm back. I went through three props on the basher before I realized that the control rods need serious help.[:@] I usually replace them in a kit anyways, but i got lazy.[&o] Stupid me. I did get back to the tracer though. Trimmed the balsa from the plywood reinforced ribs, used for the gear. Being how everything was going so well I decided to sand the bevel onto the spars. My luck still holding, I labeled them. Of course I labeled the top one as the bottom. Stupid mechanic. So, using the bottom for the top, no wait, the top for the bottom. Now I'm confused.[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] I used the top spar, pinned it to the board and ignored the fact it was labeled as the bottom, although it was going on the bottom. Wait, it's upside down![sm=spinnyeyes.gif] aaaarg![sm=pirate.gif] Feeling better about my inability to follow instructions,[&:] I placed the ribs. They looked so happy there I decided to remove them and then glue them to the spar. A couple of them decided to have second thoughts at this point, they had commitment issues, so I held them down with the clamps you see. Just a little weight to hold them to the jig, so my wing doesn't warp on me. Now it is time to let it all dry (cure) before I place the bottom spar on top. Or is it the top spar on top as the bottom spar is labeled as the top? I'm so confused, at least that is what my wife has been saying to me since we got married.
