Hi Paul ,
Phil Brown from the U.K. here! how did you get on with the strip, like
you I agree there isn't much meat for the nut plates....did you go ahead
anyway? I'm at that stage now. My plans are even older than yours! I cant
even find a reference to go about drilling and attaching the nut plates!!!!

Hi Phil,
Van's said that it was fine and to forge ahead. However, now that my
LE is all riveted up, it sure looks like it ought to stick out more
than they specify....there is about a half inch of extra metal
outboard past the LE rib flange. On my other wing I will certainly
pull it out further or at least err slightly on the tank side.
Also check the archives regarding trimming the aft edges of the strip
forward of the spar. Not mentioned in the directions and impossible to see
on the plans.
Regards,
Paul
