Hi Mark and all, I asked this question at the course I took this weekend.
The instructor said that you can`t inspect the inside of the wing if there
was no inspection access. His advice was to put an inspection plate next to
the strut mount. If I ever recover my FSII, I will do that, as for now I
trust my building skills and will leave things as they are.

No need to wait till then if you want an inspection panel. They can be
bought at any aero store. Just stick the ring on, cut out the inside of the
ring with a sharply pointed knife and slip the tin cap on.
The cap has a short piece of tin across its diameter which is pinned to the
caps centre. It is slightly bowed so that the ends slide inside the fabric
on both sides. The tin cap itself will `spam can` as it is made with a
slight curvature.To open press the middle and it will `pop` . To close press
the edges and it wil `pop` the other way and hold the the whole thing tight.
Cheers
Pat

Just curious, what would I look at in my MkIII wing if I did have an
inspection port?
At least once a flying season I shake the wing tip up and down and
listen for
unnatural sounds. As it is I'm happy that no critters or nesting bees
can get in there.

Good question. But when you decide what you want to look at then you can put
an inspection panel right there. I think that if I was worried about bees
nesting or hiving or whatever in the wing I would shake it EVERY flight.

Inspection plates. I looked at an uncovered Kolb wing and made a note of
where I would like to see after covering. I now have about 10
inspection plates. So far, everything looks the same. Still a little
shaking is a good idea as part of a preflight.

The two main things I would recommend looking for inside the wing would be signs of corrosion and "smoking" or otherwise failing rivets.

They also seem to love wiring. My girl friend parked her Hyundai Sante Fe when she came home from work one Thursday night and when I wnet to drive it the next morning the check engine light was on an the engine was running very rough. Little vermin took out the primary and secondary fuel injector harnesses.
