Dry fitting the ribs.
The quality of this kit is impressive.
The spars and leading and the trailing edges are notched for a tight fit.
Only complaint so far is the inconsistent balsa density ranging from ultra light and flimsy (the trailing edge spar) to super hard and heavy (one sire of the elevator).
Enjoying the build process.

OBSERVATIONS: Interesting. 
- half the size of last year...if that is possible.
- most stuff for sale was the nice attitude:  "If it sits in my basement it is worth nothing.  If I sell it for $5.00 I have money for 3 coffees next week".
- half the tables were priced "anything more than zero gets it out of my house".  Normally only 1/4 of the tables have this attitude.
- Old but flyable IC motors were not selling at $5.00! (OS FP40 with muffler).  Most of us started with that $100 motor on our first trainers 30 plus years ago.

Went and left happy with $300 retail new stuff for $25.00
- 4 new Graupner nylon power props (10" diameter)- $2.00 total!
- 4 sealed rolls of covering- $10...total!
- brand new Castle Creations 45 amp ESC, never used but no package- $5.00  (retail; $85 plus tax)
- Phasor inrunner BL motor in good shape 350 watts- $5.00- retail was over $80 when it came out.
