There are some pictures of how I did mine. The first time I tried it I glued the ply together to make it one piece. It didnt work well. I then removed it and tried three separate pieces of ply suitably steamed and bent. Much better. The use of ratchet tie down straps are the way to go to hold it all in place.

If you use the plywood do you have to go all the way around the leading edge? It looks li ke on the drawings you start at the top of the front spar and stop at the l eading edge, is this right? I also don't think I'm good enough to cut the g rove in the leading edge for the ply to lay in =C2-so I was thinking of r unning it to the center of the leading edge and sanding it to blend in.

Just run the ply down the LE a half inch or so and feather to blend in like you said. That is probably what I will do as my LE is already attached and it doesn't have dado cut out.

Makes it a lot easier getting in an out. -------- Rick Holland NX6819Z Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=415637#415637 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1995_375.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/img_1996_151.jpg ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 07:12:23 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: leading edges From: Ken Bickers This is exactly how I did mine. It took a lot of clamps and straps to do each wing, followed by an hour or three with the hand plane and sanding block. Worked just fine.
