I've been following some ot the threads on rib stitching and I'd like to throw my two cents worth in.
I have a MOD IV 1200 which I completed in 96. I ribstitched with flat cord. I didn't find it a problem
at all. It just took a few minutes longer and the wings look beautiful; almost as smooth as metal.
It took me 4 hours per wing and was fun to do. Also, for those of you getting ready to lay tapes,
be sure to iron then down several times. Run your fingers along the pinked edge and feel for rough
edges and go over them again. Then do them again. The end result will be a beautifuly smooth
wing. It takes time, but I've had lots of comments on my covering job and it's because I ironed and
ironed those tapes. Happy Building. Floyd N69FJ
