I have always noticed this spot on the Wing, seemed to have slightly cracked paint for a while and it finally ripped the Fabric. (The hole is a slit basically the width of the nose rib) It is the bottom of the Nose Rib edge that when recovered back in 1995 (Ceconite) they didn't use reinforcement tape and it rubbed through after all these years. Going to need to get it patched but am I ok to fly it between now and then? Hoping I can get it done this month....
