I seem to be spending more time thinking than building. Part of it is trying to figure out the manual-some parts are not very clear. The manual will state "rivet ribs together", but won't tell you which rivets to install. I installed a few rivets that I should not have and will have to drill them out.

Here I am working on the wing tip box.

These top and bottom skins get clecoed to the last two (#13) ribs.

Sounds easy enough, but look at the aft rib and the space between the rib and the spar. Now I could bend the aft ends to meet the spar, but then that will distort the rib enough that the rear clip doesn't fit right. Here's another picture...

I sent Rans an e-mail and asked what I'm suppose to do with the aft end of the ribs. So there's really nothing else I can do until maybe Monday.
