We installed all chord-wise protective tapes over the ribs on the top surface of the right wing, and also installed the tapes at both ends of the wing. At the wing ends, we wrapped the tapes around the edge a bit and glued them in place. We also installed two horizontal tapes on the top surface, and applied glue to part of the trailing edge for tapes that will be applied there.
As always, we worked through a few minor problems. A few tape wrinkles went unnoticed at first, but were discovered when we were about to apply a crossing tape. The wrinkles were fixed by spraying the area with acetone, peeling back the tape a bit to get the wrinkles out, applying more glue, putting the tape back down, and then smoothing it all out with an iron.
