Gluing to ribs

[Shipl14 19]

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find it. Seems to be a conflict between the Poly Fiber manual and the Avid manual on gluing fabric to the ribs. Avid says glue to bare wood, PF says put down reinforcing tape and don't glue. Course I don't know how to attach fabric to an undercambered wing without gluing. I do intend to lace the ribs. Any thoughts or advice? Photos would be much appreciated.

Nearly all the Avids have the fabric just glued to the ribs.  That is one big reason for the 1" wide cap strip, for more surface area to glue to.  Also, refer to Appendix C: Concave-Bottom Wings on page 95 of the poly fiber manual.  JImChuk

Look thro the back of ur poly fiber book, there is a section in there that discribes the instalation of the fabric to an undercambered wing.  I just did mine, follow the Avid manual and the part of undercambered wing section in poly book and it goes easy, just 111 stiches per wing (thats what i did) will take awhile. Hahahahahahaaa

i have lots of pic on my cell phone also.
