Started left wing leading edge

November 19, 2010 – Today I also started the left wing leading edge. When I took out the skin, which is rolled so it can wrap around the ribs, I noticed a cutout for access, but I had no idea what it was for. A quick Google search revealed nothing, then it hit me: with the wing kit I had also received a kit for the stall warner. I previously decided that I did want to install that, so I broke open the subkit and found drawings and instructions for installation. That’s what the access is for.

Got out the leading edge cradle I got from Kenny Haberstroh, and placed the left leading edge skin in there. I started clecoing ribs in place. That’s a little bit of work; getting the skin to pull down and align with the rivet holes in the ribs. The instructions say to start with the upper forward holes, work back across the top, then go from the front to the back on the bottom.
