I wonder if the thin glass skin, over the plywood, would eliminate the
sagging 'tween rib bays that a Pulsar builder experienced. He was skilled
at woodworking, IIRC, but complained about sagging 'tween rib bats in humid
weather. I don't know the details, unfortunately.

Probably coating the entire plywood covered wing, inside and out with
cladding epoxy would eliminate the changes brought on by humidity
variations.
