pictures on the next page as well as the plan sheet.
With a small round needle file clean the cast in location notches for the Ribs as seen in the picture
below. Note that there are notches on both sides of the Spars. Using 1/32" rod measure the length of
the Ribs front to rear starting at the out board side of the Elevator and add 1/8". Mark the center of the
cut 1/32" Rod for the Rib and fold completely back on itself, then with a hammer gently hammer the
Rod together. Using a hobby knife blade slowly bend open the center area of the Rib as seen in the
picture below. Now at the location of where the spar will be on the Rib using a small round file carefully
form the curved bend of the Rib and over bend to allow spring back for the ends to touch. Test fit the
Rib into the front and Spar notches, then mark the end to cut the ends to fit into the rear notches.
When satisfied with the dry fit glue the Rib in place in the notches as seen on the next page. Continue
adding the rest of the Rids repeating the process.
