A simple idea that can be used for holding, and squaring up all sorts of other items, not just ribs.
At present there are 3 sizes, but more can be added if required. You can see them in use on the wing jig.
Naturally you can turn them to, Samy make a combination of 80 and 90mm rib spattering with the same set.
Also if you have to use a specific spacing, say 68mm, simply add a piece of scrap 3mm balsa to the 65mm spacer, and wow, you now have your 68mm !!
The wing shown is using a combination of the 60/70 and the 50/65 spacers. As it's a Parasol wing of 2 meters and the centre section will be attached to struts, with the wing panels plugging in. Building the whole thing in one go means that thanks to the wing jig everything will line up perfectly.
