Building the butt ribs for the upper wing - 2

With the bobbed profile complete the next step is similar to the way I did the other ribs. Remember how I pre-glued the capstrips to the other nose rib blocks? Well, this method of using the jig is similar except the cap strips get notched to mate up with the nose rib. The photos do a better job of explaining it than typing.

What's really important here is to make sure the cap strips are glued flat, or parallel, with the nose block.
