Here's how the Guide "G" fits onto the wing and helps align the smaller ribs. The tabs set over the sides of the G piece and hold it on the face of the wing.
This entire post is dry fits - no glue yet.
I found I had to widen the slots for an easier fit of the ribs.
The instructions say the front tip of the ribs are 3/6" back from the leading edge of the wing.
With the rib set all the way back into the slot, the front of the ribs barely overlap the wing.
I checked the older Estes instructions.
The front of the ribs are farther ahead than the above picture shows.
I slid the ribs a little forward until the front tip was about at the halfway point. This gave me more gluing area under the "floating" rib.
