Canard Leading Edge #5

I cut and scarfed the two outer panels of plywood for the canard leading edge last night and then set up for gluing things together.  I started tonight by squeegeeing a thin coat of T-88 to the inside of the plywood and then applied a coat of straight T-88 to the top and bottom of the spar and to the front edge of the leading edge stringer.  I mixed up a couple of batches of epoxy and micro balloons and applied it to the edges of the foam ribs where they will meet the plywood.  The final part of the night was spent wrestling the plywood to a nice fit on the ribs and spars.  I used the wrong kind of tie down straps though, I think that I may invest in some ratchet straps for the rest of the panels.

Number of hours: 2.5
Total hours: 241.2
