NO!
OK!
NOTE:
If you decide to glue the the spars as in the front page,
be sure to insert completely the diaphrams!
You can also choice do not glue the diaphrams to the spar,
to mount a full wing on the mounting plan, placing all the ribs,
then paste the diaphram to the spar with plenty of cyano very fluid.
