Brief Description: Section 17 Outboard Leading Edge, Page 17-2, Ste
01/5/2009 I have completed Section 17 Outboard Leading Edge steps 1 to 6 on page 17-2. After cutting the J-Channel aluminum Leading Edge Stiffener W-1026 I inscribed a 5/16 inch offset down the length of the assembly as shown in Figure 1. Then I modified two (four actually) W-1009 L and R Leading Edge Ribs for the assembly as described in Figure 2 and Table 1. This created W-10091L, W-1009-2L, w-10091R and W-1009-2R. I next using the band and jig saw I cut out the template VB-11 Wing leading Edge Vee Blocks to fabricate the Leading Edge Cradle Assembly as shown in Figure 5. Then I detached the W-1019 L and R splice strip from the Fuel Tank Sinks using an air die grinder with a thin disk. Time for both left and right Outboard Leading Edges about 3 hours.
