Built the leading edge form using the plywood from the wing crate. While I had the saws out, I also cut the plywood for the wing cradle.
I put the leading edge skin into the form and clecoed in the ribs. Not an easy task. The Orndorff video shows clecoing together the leading edge on the wing using big straps. Not sure if that is an old way or just an alternate way.
After clecoing together the leading edge, I put it onto the spar and clecoed the two parts together. Looks very cool.
Work on the joint plate is coming up, so I looked around for it. It’s the AS3-032 X 1-1/2 X 36-1/2 strips. The only place this is specified is on the packing list.
The inner most leading edge rib is not pre-drilled, so I didn’t flute it yet. I marked on the rib approximately where the holes will go, so now I can flute it.
