    i didn't rib stich thru the l/e. i treated the l/g as the same as the gas tanks as far as covering. we droped back 1" from the l/e at the top to start the rib stiching and used that spacing top and bottom.

    sorry i left out that the l/g is hysoled to the ribs and false ribs so no need to stich thru it.

    Here are a couple pictures of the leading edge installation. Sorry about the resolution - they were taken on a phone. They were hysoled along the front spar (top and bottom) and each cap strip. I did not glue them to the false ribs - allowing these ribs to flex as they do under fabric. I trimmed the bottom to fit just aft of the leading edge and out to the lower cap strip.
