I am fairly certain that I am not the only one
building a 2S to install the 33 rib on the spars
before reading further (or remembering) to
install the foam extensions.  The foam extensions
call for 2 layers of BID on both sides extended
2" onto the wood spars. (plan sheet W2)

I have removed the LE and TE of #33 so I can
follow the plans.  Because the outer wing foam is
already in place between the spars and 5/8"
square spruce gussets are T-88d in place, I
really don't want to mess that up.  Any thoughts
about glassing the foam per plans but then put a
fillet of thick micro or flox at the junction of
the foam to rib and carry the glass onto the rib?

One other question/thought.  The 29 1/8 rib seems
to be irrelevant.  The plans show to radius the
LE of the wing tip(which you could not do as
shown on the plans with the rib installed as
shown) and also to round the tip outer edges
(again which you could not do with the ply rib
there).  Are you all not using this rib or just
using a portion of it?  Are you putting an
additional 3 or 4 inches of foam beyond the rib
and putting the radius and rounding here?
