Leading edge epoxied in place, and held temporarily with tape |
Using Hysol epoxy, we attached the remaining false ribs to the right flap.
Then, we cleaned and prepped the aluminum aileron and flap spars, mixed up some more epoxy, and glued all of 4 of the leading edges to their respective flap or aileron (both right and left sides). There are 6 primary ribs, and 14 false ribs for each piece, so a total of 20 epoxy attach points for each aileron and flap. Once the epoxy had cured for about 30 minutes, it was smoothed to make nice filets. Hours: 3.0
