Align the head of the ribs within the main spar and ensure each rib is sitting flush within the
spar. Some ribs may require more downward pressure than others to set appropriately. You
may wish to tack glue the ribs to start before adhering with CA or wood glue, using your
accelerator as needed to help the setting process. If the ribs are not sitting flush within the main
spar you will find your sheeting will be affected. Be careful not to add to much glue to rib #1 or
the fuselage may not fit on the inside portion of the ribs. Ribs #5
–
7 (see 2
nd
photo) should be
aligned from the head of the rib to sit flush as the center portion of the main ribs after the spar
will sit slightly above to allow for the sheeting. Allow to set.

Unpin the plane from the building board. Turning the plane over glue the backside of the ribs to
the main spar using wood or white glue.
Note Ribs #5 - #7
