I used Mike's technique... fairly straightforward and I was able to achieve goodresults. Thanks Mike! I purchased two 14' long white pine handrails from Home Depot and ripped them asMike shows in his drawing.The bottom of the LE rounds our nicely with the bottom of the ribs.The top of the LE overlaps the top of the ribs ~1/16"... perfect for fitting LEsheeting.Here is something to think about... I had to install backing strips in order toprovide a surface to attach the LE sheet. I just used short lengths of 1/4"x 1/4" bass wood. Markle has a pretty good method for providing LE attachingsurface, but it requires a bit more work on the table saw.I also used a simple white pine base board and cut it the way Mike illustrates.This was pretty simple to do. I used wide tongue depressors for gussets...tapered on both ends. --------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
