First job today was to pin and glue a section of timber between the leading edge of the root rib and the first main rib. This will act as the inner section of the leading edge for the first bay of the wing. Once shaped, it will be covered in the ply skin and then the outer section of the leading edge will butt join to it and overlap the skins. Next blocks of timber were cut to fit between ribs 1&2, 5&6, 9&10 and 12&13. These were glued into place and will be drilled through the wing skin to take the bolts that secure the flap and aileron hinges to the wing.
