I got my rib "jig" made. I'm glad I did it. It sure is making shaping the ribs much quicker!

I glued up my vertical stab from 1/4" balsa like shown. I had a fear that it might "twist" and it did. It's not terrible. I thought about splicing it together with the grain running in different directions but didn't do that. When it's glued in place is the fuselage top etc. going to hold it straight or should I re-work it?
This is why I never make stabs or fins from sheet stock any more. I always build up a frame and sheet it with 1/16". They always come out dead straight, lighter than solid and very stiff.
