Legal Eagle Wing build

This is an early Legal Eagle

) Do lightening holes according to your plans Clean up glue runs on
ribs, spars and bridgework (it can add up to a pound or two)
) Fit in diagonal braces while the wing can still be racked to get them
into the bays
) Diagonal in fuel tank bay should be dropped down to face of spar caps
and then gusseted in place with 1/8 plywood plates on the Legal
Eagle
) Fittings should be polished (no dings or scratches), painted and
bedded in epoxy glue
) Preventing dimples from appearing in the leading edge plywood skins
is part science and careful preparation before the skin is glued in place
(blowing a balloon up in there after the dimple has appeared does not
stay fixed!) Keeping the plywood rolled up for several months is good
(see pics following), Leonards method of using a headless nail to
locate the skin is good This may not be enough to avoid the dimples
Additionally, some have put as many as 2 foam ribs spaced between
the plywood ribs Plus, some have soaked the previously fitted panels
in hot water - mounted on the headless nails with only rubber bands
holding the panels in place Then waiting several days for the panels
and ribs to dry thoroughly the panels are masked with tape on the
glue lines, sanded and varnished in the fields prior to final mounting
)Service note: Be sure to notch the bottom corner of all leading edge
ribs to allow any water to drain out to a hole at the wing root rib
