Wing Cuff, Pulleys, and some window work



We attached the fiberglass leading edge cuff to the left wing with silcone adhesive (DAP Dynaflex 230), and used some gaffer's tape to hold it in place until it dries.

A couple of small attach tabs were removed from the rear trim mounting plate.  We didn't need those tabs to mount the trim motor, so just cut them off to save a little weight.
Tabs indicated with red arrows were removed

We added a little caulk around the edges of the aluminum rear window openings to reduce potential vibrations of the aluminum border against its steel frame

Next we re-installed all the cable pulleys in the wings in preparation for running control cables through the wings.   Hours: 2.5
