    Another day on the wing and got the upper side false rib tapes and the leading and trailing edge tapes done. I have attached a photo of the topside - almost ready for spray coats of Polybrush.

    I have also attached a pic of the other wing with the wrinkling. I think I need to release the glue attach points on the ribs. I am assuming that the fibreglass and the wing frame is moving with change in temps. I assume the f/g is fairly inert so guess the spars and perhaps the plywood ribs are moving with the temps. In any case, I think it is useful to think about how extensively the LLE is glued down, especially given the flex in the wings. Thoughts??
