Center the wing’s 1/8” LE against the ¼”
LE, then tape the LEs together.
4. Remove the LEs from the fuse and
drill a 3/8” hole with a forstner bit at the
center of the blocks’ outline shown
above.
5. Cut a section of 3/8” hardwood dowel
so that with one end fully seated into the
block, about 5/8” sticks out. Make a
duplicate set of dowels just in case you
need them in the future.
6. Insert the dowel about half way into
the LEs and then fit the block onto the
end next to the wing’s 1/8” LE. With the
block spaced slightly off the 1/8” ply LE
apply CA just inside the outline and then
push the block down against the wing’s
LE. Immediately remove the dowel
without shifting the block. Do the same
for the other side.
7. Position the LEs in place on the fuse
using the reference marks you made
and then butt the wing next to the
blocks. Mark on the wing where foam
will need to be cut away as shown.
Use a sharp knife to cut out the foam.
With the wing’s LE against the saddle
LE test fit the wing and the cut outs
around the blocks. Strive for a tight fit
around the blocks with the wing’s LE
firmly against the 1/8” ply LE.
8. For a two piece wing, you will need
to cut the wing’s 1/8” LE in half so
separate the taped LEs and cut the 1/8”
ply LE only.
9. Place the ¼” LE in place and use a
heated rod to melt about ¼” of the foam
behind the LE at the dowel holes
locations.
10. Apply 30 minute epoxy to the ¼”
LE, keeping the epoxy away from the
