Today we spent the whole day working and made quite a bit of progress.
First, we finished gluing the ribs and the corner edges through the ribs by shaving the inside of specific ribs .

After that, we riveted the few parts still being held by clecos and finally we covered the glued ribs with the aluminum tape.

The process is not hard but it is quite time consuming.
To get a wing done we used three rolls of the fiberglass lined adhesive tape and almost two of the aluminum tape. This means i'll be short 2 rolls of the fiberglass and one of the Aluminum.. I've looked for it everywhere with no luck, so, I guess I'll have to get it imported from the US...
*Luckily some friends are coming to visit us for turkey day.. hopefully they'll bring me some.
finished with one wing and waiting for parts to do the next
