I am building a high wing trainer, the name I can't recall right now. Anyway, after assembly of the wing I realize I totally forgot to round the leading edge. Its flat on the bottom then 90 degrees up the front then about a 30 degree slant across the top. Question is what will happen if I leave it as is? I am sure I can just get a bit of curve around it if I have to.
Thanks in advance

Congratulations on deciding to build your plane. You will learn a lot and take pride in your new 'gal'.
Whether it's kit #1 or #100, we have ALL overlooked something at some point. The key is that you discovered it and are willing to take the time to make it right. That's how we learn and progress. Almost anything can be fixed and even if it can't you'll smile to yourself knowing you won't do it again. Just be patient and the next one always comes out better!
As for the leading edge, if you haven't covered the wing, sand it to shape. Will it fly better....yes. But you'll FEEL better about it.
Welcome to kit building!
