Although I=B4m building an XL, I believe the right answer would be the one
that is on the manual.

My advice (I'm an 801 builder), don't try too hard to pull them down
too tight. IF you do strap it down tight enough to completely conform
perfectly you will inevitable find that you also formed ridges in the
skin over the ribs. I use ratchet straps, ratchet down to the point of
contact an no more.
The number of ribs is too low anyway on the Zenith to get a really
nice wrap no matter how hard you try, so no matter what you're
going to have some rivet dimples.
Regards,
Jeff

My experience has been if Zenith says to use four ratchet straps then 8
is about the right number. Look on the bright side, when ya get through
you will have plenty of straps and at 10 bucks for four it is cheap ins
urance..On the 801 the leading edge skin can be lethal if it slips out o
f the nest....
