Three fixes come to mind. 1) You could make  "false ribs" (a "strip rib", like on an I-Beamer), and glue it in directly on either side of the duff rib...a doubler or sandwich. Could probably get it out of the sheet the ribs came from in about 10 seconds. 2) Or, you could glue "cap strips" onto those two ribs, sand them flush with a sanding bar, and then, if you want, trim the width down to the rib thickness. 3) You could cut out the entire front of those two ribs and replace the nose section. 

The second option would look better when bystanders are looking at the remains (in 10 or 20 years, we hope!) and will be slack-jawed about your fine workmanship. But the first option would work just fine. Nobody with any sense would do the third option. I think most of us would do the 2nd method. Easy-peasy. OBTW, my guess is that those two ribs are installed "upside-down" relative to the rest. Symetrical ribs aren't always perfectly so. Best plan is to stack them up and flip 'em 'round until they're the best fit, then mark the top on all. Stack sand them before assembly, if needed.  Steve

PS: Be careful watching Windy's Miss Ashley wing vid while building a Vector 40 wing. You might end up with a Mrs. Vector wing. 

I find it weird that they would be out of line though - I've built 6 vectors and all the ribs have been good as gold....

I'm building it.... and there's your problem.

The two ribs are not off much, just enough that the sheeting will not touch. My guess is I wiggled my knife blade when cutting the spar. So now these two ribs I bet are going to be a little high when I flip the wing. Again...

Ribs a little high...sand off. Ribs a little low...build up with a thin strip of balsa, attach with cement of your choice (my favorite for this part of the project, Ambroid or Sigment). Oops, to much - now it's a little bit high, see first sentence of this post.  Part of the challange of building your own. 

OK the more I looked at the one rib it was about off the thickness of a sheet of paper. The other rib was a little more. I got a call from one of my Tech support guys and the told me to just cut the glue joints and move it. I was a little gun shy about doing that but slipped a new #11 in the spar joint and it popped lose. I adjusted it and all is good.

Now time to flip it over and see what the other side looks like.

Stay tuned...

PS - and thanks guys for the encouragement.

The spar notches were probably cut on the wrong side, to boot! I had a Vector 40 kit, but sold it (unopened) cheap to my buddy Glenn Reach.  Steve

shoulda built it!!!!   nice plane that flies extremely well
