Default RE: hybrid wing problem

Thanks mike. That takes a load off my mind. I was going crazy trying to figure out what I might have done wrong. 1/16th on both sides sounds about right. That would drop the rib 1/8" ( 4MM)below the surrounding ribs when it is setting on the template.I believe my measurement was 5MM but what's 1MM amongst friends. .As I said I just brought R2 up flush with the other ribs on the wing bottom and I will add balsa strips as necessary to build up the top. Although this will have the center line measurement off a bit it will "trick" the rib and all should be fine. I will do the same with sr1.
Outssider, hows the build coming along?

Mike, I would also like to mention that when sheeting the ailerons, the sheeting isn't quite wide enough to cover the whole ail. It should be done with a 4" and a 3" piece rather than a 4" and a 2".
In the pic below, the clamp is on the ail. TE not the sheeting. In this particular instance, I lost about 1/4" on the 4" piece of sheeting when I trued the edges because the piece was warped a bit but even on the other ail I had to add a strip to cover. Not a big deal but a pain none the less.
