The bottom of the wing is flat so I filled in all the spaces between the ribs with 1/16" stock.

I used an x-acto knife to remove the wood panels between the stringers, (top). I then glued in another piece of balsa cut on a bevel to fit against the front former. I used sandpaper glued to a piece of wood the same size as the opening to sand the rear smooth with the back former. Finally I glued triangular pieces of 1/32" balsa at the top and bottom of the openings. Easy.
