Default RE: hybrid wing problem

I want to add 1 more thing. I took a measurement of the ail le on R2 and R3. R2 is 28MM and R3 is 33MM. That's just not right. The ail will get thinner at the root. I just can't continue until we get this fixed.
For comparison I had to go all the way to R9 to find another rib at 28MM.

I guess my fix will be to place a small ( 1/16") shim between R2 and the wing template to bring R2 up flush wth the rest of the ribs. when I do that, it will be substantially lower when I flip the wing over so I will do something similar to what outssider did to pack up the rib. As I glance under the wing on my board the problem seems to continue up most of the rib. Seems that we both have the same condition.
My only concern is that I still don't know if R2 is the problem or R3,4, and 5. Needless to say that the center line on R2 is off by 3MM. Rason being I guess is I should pack up both sides rather than 1. Something needs to be done about this.

It's 1:00 Am so excuse me if I am rambling.
