Brief Description:  Finished drilling the leading edge

Figured I should go to church to day, might help with the leading edge. As a matter of fact it did go better. A small amount of triming of the fwd part of the leading edge rib 2 and 3 helps a lot. Looking normal to the plane of the rib web, For both the upper and lower flange, I put a radius on the web back into the flange. The end result trims the skin flange back about 1/8" or so. A suggestion from the Randy Clark on the Rans Clan to tape the leading edge skins with the tape running perpendiculr to the rear spar helped. Massaging the skin over the top of ribs 3 and 4 in the forwad direction, to try to force the skin down on the aft part of the rib and give more room in the nose of the rib helped.
Finally after hours of working I got the spar fastener holes alligned over the line aft of the spar and drilled the aft fastener holes and ribs to #40, then opened them up to #40.
