I've decided to construct the wings and tail surfaces first so they can be stored while the fuselage goes together. The first item to tackle is fabricating the ribs. The rib webs are die-cut 1/64 ply that I stained with lacquer-based oak. The cap-strips are just strip balsa I left bare for contrast. I deviated from the instructions by creating a sliding clamp out of lite-ply so that I can hold the rib together firmly while I glue it together with CA. The Proctor method is to pin everything down flat on a board and glue with Ducco. With 90 ribs to cap like this I just don't have patience for that.
