This weekend we got a lot of work done on wing fabric. We located and glued the plastic strengthening rings down to the bottom wing surface. a few of these will be opened immediately to help in the final constructions. And the remaining ones will only be cut open if needed after the airplane is flying. We also added fabric over the four wing strut attachment areas. Two main attachments and two for the jury struts.
Next we added the rib tapes on the top wing surface. Like the other tapes, this involved adding three coats of adhesive on the area, then applying the fabric and finally brushing a thinned mixture of adhesive on top and through the tape securing them in place.
Finally, we marked out the remaining areas on the wing that will need to have tapes added. Hours: 5
