I am reached the point in my build where the wings have been installed on the fuselage and it is time to bond the number one rib. The directions say to bond the rib 35 1/2” from the number three rib, center to center. That spot has been marked and then I thought, just out of curiosity, will there be enough room for the butt rib to fit 1/16” from #1 rib. Also will there be room for the fuel tank. Negative on both accounts. With the number one rib in place there is no way for the butt rib to fit as described. Plus the fuel tank edges where they meet the number three and number one ribs are not parallel to the ribs. That is, they are not square.
So what to do? Trim the edges of the fuel tanks so they are parallel to the ribs, squaring them up.
I searched the forum and didn’t see anyone else bring this up and it is not addressed in the assembly manual.

Any thoughts appreciated.
