Rib Stitching

Prepping for rib stitching. This shows chalk lines and reinforcing tape on each rib. Both wings ready to lace.

The stitching is not very hard to do once you understand the knots. It took me a couple of days. This pic shows the single knots under the fuel tank ready to trim off the ends. I used a small zip tie with the head cut off as a “needle”.

Rib stitching completed

Rib stitching is complete. Next is to shrink the fabric the final time to 350 degrees with my calibrated iron.
