This time when I fabricated these angles I used the dimensions on the drawings but when I did the finish filing, I set the angles on the Doubler Spar Web to verify that everything was going to match up perfectly. 'Looking much better now.

I pulled two of the pre-formed ribs aside, to be used  as root ribs, and removed 3/8 inch from the front, and 9/16 inch from the back of both ribs, as called for in the drawings.
