I have just fabric covered my Flea wings and for better or worse have not rib stitched the wings. I was pondering the situation and wondered whether you could use short stainless staples to augment the glued joint? Even on the flimsy Flea ribs which are 1/4" cap strip construction you could put a staple wherever an upright or diagonal intersected the upper or lower cap strip. A good idea or a futile exercise? I welcome your opinion please, thanks in advance .Malcolm
