Brief Description:  Right Wing leading edge foam glitch

Played with bits of wood and rope without achieving anything. Did note that I was bending Wing jig #4, so propped it up with a bit of timber so it stays straight when I put pressure on the hump, with better results.

Got called out with the local volunteer Fire Brigade for a quick job, When putting the truck away spied a pair of ratchet tie downs in their original packing with dust and mouse poo all over them in a neglected corner. Borrowed them and tried them rather than rope and was able to jig the foam completely flat. No pictures of that though. Refitted the glue blocks holding the jigs to the table, added a few between the jigs and the wings and it stays in shape when the tie downs are removed.

The words "tie down" got into my head, so tried a version of the tie down that goes over the outboard wing attach. [Timewarp: I won't bother with pictures, as ultimately decided it is a flaky concept and will go with the plans hole in the spar cap. Wasted a bit of time on this, but there was some fun involved watching the shape evolve, and I used the bit I made from 1/8" AL to practice rivetting]
