We spent Saturday and Tuesday night this week working on the leading edge for the left wing. It took a lot of tweaking to get the leading edge to fit. We had previously straightened the ribs but we needed to install them and then install the leading edge onto the wing. Once that was done we installed a "W-919"which is essentially a piece of aluminum that will join between the last rib and the fuel tank (a picture will show this better). Finally we match drilled the skins, ribs and spars.
