I thought I had a Shortcut

I figured the project plane I bought can never be flown, but maybe I could use some parts from it. The metals bits (brackets, controls, and what have you) look good, so that's a probable win. I also thought I would save a little time and use on of the existing ribs to make my rib jig.

Nope...

There is a 1/8" gap between the top of the rear spar (which I verified to be the correct height), and the top bow of the rib.

...dang...
