Default GP Super Sportster .60 Question

I purchased a Super Sportster .60 and am trying to start the wing but am finding that the ribs do not match the plans or manual. The ribs all have lightening holes in them and none are notched for the landing gear. The air foil also seems to be a little thicker than the plans show.

Is there an update to the kit that I'm unaware of or do I have the wrong parts?

Thanks,

Page 3 in the instructions tells you to cut out the particular notches in the ribs for the landing gear, depending upon whether you are building a taildragger or a tri-gear version. Use the notch for the wing spar as a reference.

The parts may not be exactly the same shape as shown on the plans because printing and storage can affect plan dimensions. You can use the top view of the wing for rib spacing.

Later kits had lightening holes added to the ribs.
