    I did do the ribstitching to that false rib. Figured it couldn't hurt, and might help.

    Like Jim, and for the same reasons, I did as well. This area takes a pretty good beating in the prop wash. It was a pain to do, but you can custom make a needle with a coat hanger and get it done.

    Thanks Jerry. I'll probably do the same.
