Opening the wings for pre-cover/pre-paint final inspector (MDRA). Had to ADD stringers because of flimsy .016 alu. Glad I did it - much better now.
If I were to do the wings over, i would make a rear spar instead of many parts in between ribs.

Stringers were added to the TOP of the wing skins to stop wobbling of the skins.
DON'T use 16mil for skins, it's simply too flimsy !
With the stringers though it's much better.
