Fitting the Angle Aluminum Stringers

Two 1/2" x 1/2" angle aluminum pieces fit into the leading edge of the wing (one on top and one on the bottom) to support the thin leading edge aluminum sheet. They have to be notched out to fit over the nose ribs. I notched them by using the chop saw to remove the bulk of the material, then finishing up with a file. It worked pretty well.

Fitting the first couple notches

Long way to go still.

All the notches are fit.


Great fit! I put a little epoxy here for good measure when fitting the leading edge.
