You shouldn't need to trim any ribs for fit. Maybe they are mislabeled? We also have had builder try and put them on the wrong wing and also have the spars flipped in the fixture etc. If you need help figuring it out send some pics to support@flywithspa.com , or you can always call me at 904 626 7792

Re: Wing Rib Fit
It's been a while since I worked the wings but I don't remember any issues with that. Could it be a fluting issue?

Wing Rib Fit
Has anyone had fitment issues with the main wing ribs? It seems that on a couple of ribs it needs to be trimmed to fit into the spar.
