I just finished shrinking the fabric on my fuselage and will start taping next week. I see how cubcrafters uses minimal reinforcement tapes. The polyfiber manual stresses to use tapes anywhere you have "hard under soft" which would be all the stringers and upper longeron. Have any of you guys had trouble with cracking where tapes were not applied over stringers? I always taped my stringers and longerons with certified airplanes and the local cub builders and telling me to add the extra tapes. However, if no one is having problems with the way CC does it (and I doubt anyone does or they wouldn't do it) I will just go with the EX manual.
More reinforcement tapes??
