Brief Description:  Fitting of Leading Edge Skin/Ribs

Constructed the first portion of the leading edge ribs tonight. That was fairly easy, but found that my wing-stand attach brackets were in the way of mounting things correctly. Ended up removing the attach point on the outboard end, and supported the entire wing from the bottom with additional bracing. That's a temporary solution allowing me to mount and cleco the leading edge skin correctly.

The plan when I return to VA will be to re-attach the wing using a slightly modified bracket.
