Just some comments & a question about what I've done with the Oratex & wings so far...
As some others have done, I filled the gaps between the lips of the tanks & the #1 & #3 ribs with Hysol & flox. I then drilled holes for lacing the #3 rib. I've found that the Oratex glue is very strong, & I've had no problems with it holding in the underside concave areas, even with a full shrinking before any lacing. I'm thinking about possibly using reinforcing tape & staples on the middle underside of the tank, probably with a little Hysol as Highwing suggested. Any comments?
Does most everyone run a piece of 2" finish tape over the centerline of the rear spar on the top only? Also, would that tape be installed first before the rib tapes?
Thanks in advance for any replies or comments!
