For those willing to build with epoxy, I think, the best would be to
purchase directly made sheets to be glued on rib

Not the cheapest way, but by far the quickest giving a superb result.

Thanks Pascal

I have the wing rib problem decided. This is a teflon mold .75
inches thick. The procedure is wet out the fabric and place it over
the center piece hole. Press the rib form into the center mold.
the flanges will be automatically formed.
Put it in an oven set to 200 F. Let cure.

Teflon is good to 500 F.

Each rib will be precisely the right size. Cut a hole for
the spar and use  sort pieces of carbon fiber angle to bond
and pop rivet the rib to the side of the spar.

This will be much faster then making each ribs out of foam
and covering it by hand  with fabric glass or carbon.
