Miscellaneous leading edge items
December 18, 2010 – I am at the point of assembling the leading edge skins to the ribs, and I quickly realized that I’d rather not do this alone. So I’ve done a couple of other odds and ends.
I assembled the stall warning switch that goes in the left leading edge.
I have the rib installed in the skin of the leading edge, and I’ll install the switch later. That way the vane won’t get damaged.
I also took the time to countersink the rest of the holes in the main spar that will accommodate the dimples for the leading edges. So all the holes in the spar are now countersunk, and I can paint that face of the spar cap on each side before anything gets permanently installed.
