Wing covered with heat-shrink Solartex. I also added surface tape. As mentioned in my previous posting, at 1,248 stitches and each one 1/16" across,, decided to keep my sanity at this point. At the wingtip, is the inspection window. Will post a close up later.

The speed of the aircraft determines the distance between stitches. On the S.E. 5 for example, this works out to 2.5 inches apart. With 52 ribs for both top and bottom wings (not including the false ribs along the leading edge) that works out to 1,248 stitches...... At this scale, each stitch works out to be 1/16" across.
