bral,
The rib stitching is specified in the designer's plans, hence we did them. We have gone with 2 inch spacings as that is what is required for a speed range of up to 150 kts.
I took a picture today of the inside of the wing which looks like the interior of some kind of industrial building...
We then burned out the drain holes in each rib bay, located on the lower end of each bay to allow any moisture out, and for the wing to effectively "breathe". After all the hours of work spent covering, stitching, taping and painting, it almost seemed criminal to burn little holes in it!
The wing is now completely finished and it was time to take it out of the workshop to allow space for the fuselage again. I couldn't resist a picture of it just before it was put away; it did look lovely, even if I say so myself...
With the fuselage now on the work table, I am hoping to be able to post a picture of it by early next week with the painting fully completed and ready for assembly to start....
