Hi,
I am just starting out and am building the VS. All the spars and ribs are fitting great except for the forward part of the top rib (VS-706, I believe). It seems like it is too long. All the holes line up except for the two forward of the tab (well, there is just one hole per side on the rib itself, but the skin of the VS has two). I can't post any pictures to show until Monday. I have the video Van's sells and I see how it is supposed to be, but it it like the forward quarter inch or so needs to be trimmed back. I try to bend it to get it to fit, but it takes a pretty big bend to get it in, then the holes aren't anywhere close to lining up.
Has anyone else come across this? Am I explaining myself ok?
Also, this clecoing is hard on the old hands! I guess one's hands get used to it after a while.
