So far in my building process, the only ribs I've had to bond in place
are the partial rib in the stub wing and the cockpit close out rib.  The
manual called for bonding them in place using micro with a 2 bid layup
over the joints.  I'm just about to the point where I'll build the flaps
and ailerons, as I'm finishing those before starting the tail section so
that I won't need to invert the plane again. (if I followed the manual,
I would have had to right the plane, then re-invert it again after
building the tail section, so I elected to finish the wings and it's
control surfaces before righting the plane)

Also, on the 320/360 the process of bonding on the stub wing skin
specified micro at the BL50 rib and along the spar areas too.  I wonder
if the 2 bid layup at all the joints is enough structural bond to not
need a structural material for filler and this is why the manual
specifies micro as the initial bond/filler?
