I give up, how does the center section go together? A picture would be great....

I am confused by the two different ribs that are not like any others .
One has holes and the other has a cutout for a spar?
Two half ribs seem to have cutouts for what?

In the second picture is my forward/rear spar set right for a RH wing? The notches on the left are opposite what the instructions say, but this is the only way I can see the cutouts holding the ribs.

Thanks!

you correctly identified the center ribs. The reason one has more holes than the other is for when you go to glue them to each other to join the wing halves. The cutout for the center spar brace ideally should be left for strength until the wing halves are completed and ready to join. As you can see, the wood there once the cutout is removed is VERY thin and won't hold up to much manipulation. Hope that helps.
