Manual Reference: Wings Leading Edge
Brief Description: Fitting the Leading Edges

Removed vinyl protection from inside L & R Leading edge skins. Also removed vinyl from strips along the rivet holes for outside of skin. Ran a line with the soldering iron along the inside of the nose of the leading edge skin. Made removing the vinyl much easier. If you pull up at a 90 degree angle from the skin, the vinyl tears cleanly along the lines prepared with a soldering iron. The Met radio season was over last week. I missed the broadcast today.
