Hi Francisco, I just finished buillding a Graupner Cirrus and yes you do cut your the ribs individually if theyare not a straight taper. You can stack cut and sand ribs also knowing the tip and root rib. You have to then sand the ribs individaully to remove any taper spanning the width of the rib. As for sheeting, this goes back to glues which do not cure fast. Basically you don't use CA. When you place the bottom sheeting (the first side whatever it is) on you can use CA, and Ca can be used to secure the ribs to spar etc, everything you can reach, but the final second side sheeting is the problem. You can use epoxyy or Titebond. I prefer Titebond for everything. Just make sure everything fits, and you have tape and pins to hold things down, add the glue generously and then start putting the sheeting in place. Once you start you have to work fairly fast as to get the sheeting down prior to the glue skinning over. Good Luck.
