Default RE: Repairing an RTF wing - my Hobbistar 60 trainer

Thanks for the positive feedback, folks.

Turning back to the starboard wing, I cut the leading edge to length and glued it into place. During the process I used a pair of end cutters to trim the leading edge ribs flush.



Once the leading edge was shaped, I started the sheeting process. I figured it was better to start with the starboard wing because the leading edge repair is small. I hope the experience I gain will serve me well when I undertake the sheeting for the port wing.

I didn't find much online about sheeting but I figured it was better to start at the base and work towards the leading edge.
