    Default Leading edge ribs

    Does anybody know if the nose ribs in the leading-edge go under the middle rib or on top. The pictures show them on top but they look like they are formed to go underneath the rib That is between the spars.any help.

    Yes the nose rubs go over the center ribs. I also took some needle nose pliers and shaped the ends of the nose ribs where they overlapped to be sure it was a smooth fit.

    Later you will put a piece of green masking tape (in the kit) over these joints and all the rivet heads before fabric.
