Err, what about those of us who have already bonded on the trailing edge top
skin (after inspection & sign-off, I might add!!)
Is this strengthening only required on later wings? Are we restricted to a
lower G or MAUW limit - or are we just more expendable than later builders?
Just curious.

If anyone has an answer to why or what to do about it then thanks.
