Studying the Plans to figure out what piece of metal goes where..... So first Rick built the jig out of leftover plywood using the kit
supplied full size templates.
Make the slat bracket holes,
Then pull the metal down around
the ribs with motorcycle tie-downs
So here's the hard part, getting it all together and having a straight trailing edge. The very first one of these that we did was no-where near as pretty as the final one. Kind of predictably.... Not sure if I want to order another wing skin and redo the first one, but I figure we'll keep building and see how it turns out, or even if I can't even bear to think about ever building another leading edge wing slat again!
