Cut the J-stringers

There are 4 of these J-stringers that come with the kit. I cut two of them to the lengths as indicated by Drawing #9. They overlap each other inside the wing. The instructions say to: "Slip the W-926B (J Stringer) into place so that it just butts up to the edge of the W-903 skin". This has to be a typo. The W-903 skin is the outboard skin, therefore the J Stringer lays on top of the W-903 skin and then actually butts up against the W-902 skin, where the skins over lap. The outboard end of J Stringer ends up being flush with the outer end rib, otherwise it would interfere with the fiberglass tip attachment.
