Hi,
...to those who were lucky enough to deal with the "slowbuilt" RV-3B wing kit : just before drilling into place both main top and bottom skins, do you simply jig&drill those main skins as per plans and then assume the somewhat pre-bent leading edge and tank skins are the good size and will fit and match perfectly around the L.E. ribs ?....
Knowing the -3 plans and kits, I just cannot figure out how to get this perfect fit on the "first try"........and if the L.E. and tank skins need some dimension and/or chordwise position adjustments (and they probably will need some....?!...) to perfectly wrap around the ribs ; sure it would be better to adjust main skins position - forward or aft - rather than re-cutting the L.E skins.....
...???....
Thanks for your help !
