Leading edge cuffs

A coat of lightweight 2-part filler was applied to the upper joint between the left leading edge cuff and the front left spar (leading edge).  Once dried, the high spots were sanded down.

On the right wing, the leading edge cuff had to be trimmed a bit more around the strut attach brackets so that it would fit nicely to the wing.  Most of this was done using a dremel tool with a sanding bit.  The cuff and leading edge of the wing were cleaned, and then the cuff was glued to the right wing with silicone adhesive.  Gaffer's tape was used to hold (clamp) the cuff in place while it dries.   Hours: 3.0
