On the three piece wing center section ribs, I see nothing in the plans to indicatethat they should be sheathed on one side with plywood or receive extra diagonalsand gussets as the wing end ribs call for. However, in looking at allthe pictures I could find, it appears many do so. What's up with that?--------JohnRead this topic online here:

Thanks Ben, that's pretty much how the plan looks. Do you glue the uprights tothe spars? The plan shows nails only. If they are glued it would look to meto be a pretty messy job being how they have to slide on and the tight fit.--------JohnRead this topic online here:

I added 1/16-inch plywood to the center section end ribs in case I use it as astorage locker instead of a fuel tank. I did not use it on the wing panels. I added braces to the end ribs like the plans show.Also, I glued the ribs to the spars because I didn't know some people say not to.I'm not sure the correct answer.
