Brief Description: Canard leading edge core assembly
Yesterday I worked on the cutouts in the tab area. Just a matter of time and fiddling. Before that I spent a while opeing up the 10 dowel holes quite carefully.
Today it was a bit of a clean up of the shear web and then microing on the leading edge. This must be straight like everything else on the canard. Having the dowels was fantastic, if I was cutting wing cores I'd use the same idea. It really aligns things perfectly.
I ended up using some angle aluminium on the leading edge and then a larger piece resting on the lift tabs to align the sides. I added a couple of bits of wood screwed onto the jig to hold a long aluminium rectangle that the clamps in pic 3 go to. Then gaffer tape worked nicely to ensure the leading edge was level.
I think its so far so good for the canard. These are nice small jobs. It will get exciting pretty soon with the bottom spar cap due after its all repositioned in the new jigs and the end pieces mircoed on.
