Leading Edge Cuff

After a little thought, we realized the main windshield needed to be installed in order to correctly locate the fiberglass wing root fairing.  That fairing locates the beginning of the wing leading edge cuff.  Good thing we checked.  The cuff was about 1/2" to 3/4" misplaced.  So after correctly locating everything a small tweaking was needed on the inboard wing cuff around the jury strut attach bracket.

The outboard wing cuff is needing a lot of "tweaking" to get it to fit around the main strut attach bracket.  It is getting close, but more work will be needed to get a correct fit.  Hours: 2
