Years ago on the net or in the newsletter someone suggested tappering only one side of the outboard caps. That also gave 90 degree glue joints on the upright spacers. That could be done after the spar is assembled. I don't know if this is an acceptable method or not. I cut my caps with a "plywood" blade on a radial arm saw that was 20 years old at the time. It was one of the few jobs on my entire project that required the help of a second person. I clamped the cap to a "sled" and slid it down the fence. Build a nice "sled" and place some block clamps on it that screw down. It takes a few minutes longer to set up for each cut but requires less time and expense in the long run. Simple is usually best. Try not to turn the project into brain surgery. For those attending the Gathering I plan to show you how you can build/rig your wing center section to within 1/10 of a degree using bubble levels.
