I was studying a little bit about what ways are acceptable to lay out the finishing tapes on fabric and am curious if the following is acceptable.
1) Overlap the top and bottom fabrics over the entire leading edge.
2) Place the required 2" tape over the fabric cement seam spanwise(seen green below spar)
3) omit any finishing tape over the center of the leading edge(wear tape), keeping in mind it has two overlapping layers of fabric.
4) Omit the span-wise finishing tape (also yellow) across the front terminations of the chord-wise tapes over the ribs.
I've added a sketch below...the yellow areas are what i'm questioning.
