Brief Description:  leading edge installation

Greg, Eric, Art, and Jay (6 hours) worked to apply the leading edge to the starboard wing. Most of the prep work was done last week. We applied painters tape to just above and just below the leading edge to minimize drippings. We also used the tape as "clamps" to apply some modest pressure once the leading edge was in place. The clecos in the small 3/32" holes that we drilled did a great job in keeping the leading edge in the right position.

Terrry worked to fit the brakes. (1 hour) He used a dremel tool to cut the top of the bolt off of the master cylinders per the instructions. There is not a full "stroke" of the piston (it starts slightly depressed) and we will have to determine if that is going to affect our ability to stop the airplane once we are completed.
