28. Use a razor plane to shape the top half of

the leading edge to match the lines you just

underside of the wings so one edge is even
with the glue joint between the leading edge
stock and the wing sheeting to protect the wing
sheeting while you shape the underside of the
leading edge stock. (Photo 30)
