Kip, wing rib jigs are not difficult to build. I made mine out of good-one-side plywood but mdf would also work fine. Also, when you draw it out yourself you can modify it the way you want, e.g. draw the rib for 3/4" spars (which most people use) or adding a vertical piece of webbing to go right behind each of the spars (the plans don't have this but it sure makes it easier to put the ribs on, align them and hold them while gluing). Tony's books give a good description about rib jigs.
