Default RE: Tiger Moth, scratch build, 1.5m span

Halfway through the first left upper wing panel. Things of note here is that I have honestly no clue what the designer thought was the wing tip. The plans shows some solid thing there, if that is a solid piece of balsa or a flat piece perpendicular to the wing, I don't know. I figured I best cut a flat piece of 6mm balsa and try that, i can always add on later. And it's not glued in yet either

Here's a question for you guys, do you really think that the wing isn't supposed to have shear webbing between every rib? The plans are quite clear that the pattern you can see in my image is the one to use, but for me it seems sort of silly to not put shear webbing between every rib, the added weight must be minimal and the strength added tremendous. Any way, I made it according to plan and if you guys have any input on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
