I too cut my tapper on the rear spar with a table saw, but, with the small amount of wood needed to be removed, there is no reason you can't do it by hand. Use the rib drawings to determine the spar level you will be working to and draw a line on the front and rear of the spar from root to tip. Use whatever tool you want to trim the spar to those lines. That process can be used on front and rear spars alike. Don't make the process more complicated that it needs to be. Builders attending the Gathering, make a note of your questions and bring them to the Gathering forums. Others probably have the same questions at some point in the building process. Larry Flesner
