Wing rib repair complete w/ pics
So I finished repairing the ribs that were broke and got the area all covered up. The cover job is not too bad for my first try. Covering is defiantly harder then it looks in the vids...

It looks like the covering towards the center of the wing still has the clear 1/4" strip on it. Probably need to remove that I don't think it will seal down good.

It looks okay. You can run an iron to get rid of that wrinkle
You might consider cutting the coners of the front of the patch so it'll minize it from peeling
away during flight.
CA the coners might help it.
Keep an eye on it beuase of the oil residue.
it's not going to kill you're model if it rip away during flight so don't trip.
I've had the entire top of half of the wing rip away during flight because i didn't wrap
the covering around the leading edge far enough
