    Default leading edge template

    I am about to cut the template for the leading edge, it looks like this is just a profile and you are to cut the template to include the plastic leading edge and the rib profile, is this correct. Not sure how else this would work.

    Hey Jim....you got it.......the template serves to locate the plastic leading edge.

    Thanks for the quick response Dave, I am going to my shop in about an hour to set these on today. Looks like it will take a large batch of hysol for securing.

    It doesn't take a whole lot of Hysol. You won't need to fill the leading edge.

    Thanks, I did get the leading edge laid out today and will glue tomorrow, i had several folks stop by today so building was a snails pace. Hangar talk is always good also. Yes, I can see now that the glue will not be as much as I first thought.
