Leading Edge Cuff

Ed and I decided we would purchase the wing leading edge cuff from Wild West Aircraft (Steve Henry).  The parts arrived from a fiberglass fabricator in Georgia, and the parts are very nicely done.  In order to keep weight addition to a minimum, we started looking at removing some of the fiberglass.  What we ended up with is drilling 5/8" holes spaced 1" on centers.  The four seven foot pieces weigh 4.5 lbs before and looks like we'll get it down to 4 lbs.  Every ounce counts! Hours: 1.5
