Bottom layers only on build plate and top of model but not in between

· Bottom layers only on build plate and top of model but not in between
Change your "Top Thickness" to 0.8 and the "Top Layers" to 4.
Change the "Skin Removal Width" back to 0.4.
The ribs are just thick enough to require some top layers and right now you are only getting bottom layers. That is affecting the very top and all the mid-ribs.
The Skin Removal Width at 3.0 is causing the little support gussets to disappear.
If you change to "X-ray" mode you can see the internals and they should all print.
Airplane parts are tough. This one seems to be designed pretty decent.
This is a mid rib with your settings. It starts with the designed in infill and doesn't have a bottom surface.
This is with the suggested changes. This is the same layer but now there are 4 layers of skin below and the little side gussets are in place.
