My stabilizer in the plans consists of a spruce leading edge and a spuce rear spar connected by 12 plywood ribs, pretty standard and basic. The span is 8 feet and the chord is 18 inches. My question is what is the correct sequence for glueing the ribs? Do I start with the center 2 ribs and work my way outboard on each side? Or start with the end ribs and work my way in towards the center? Does it matter?......
