Rib stitching under flaperon brackets

Agree with Phil. My main concern was that you had terminating hitches so you didn't get loosening over time. If tight now, all good.

How tight is tight? They aren’t the tightest stitches. If I wiggle the looser ones on top of the fabric they move a mm or two to either side. This is just the first two I repaired. The rest are way tighter.

Sounds ok. Even with some slightly loose stitches, if they are tied off, they'll prevent any tendency for fabric coming adrift - something more confined to covering with no stitching, and even then I think, relatively rare.
