I decided to sheet the Wing LE and cap the Ribs, so the first step was to modify the W2 Ribs. I sandwiched the W2's between 3 of the W1's and sanded them down to match. I then deepened the forward spar slots so the sheeting would sit flush from the LE to the Main Spar.


The Wing was then constructed in the normal way except I shortened it by one bay each side.
My preference is for Robart Hinges so I added scrap balsa at the hinge points to give them more balsa to secure to.
