Matching the nose ribs was easy. When I installed the ply ribs I epoxied the tip and root ribs in place then used a stringline and a 6-ft straightedge to make sure the remaining ribs were in alignment. Then used the same system to align the foam ribs. It took very little sanding on my wing or my friend's wing to get everything ready for ply. The nose stringer wasn't a perfect straight line but very close. I wanted the nose ribs to be perfect.
