There was actually one more piece of prep we completed with the wing sheeting. We CA'd thin carbon fiber reinforcement along the trailing edge of the right and left bottom sheeting pieces.



Tim cut thin strips of carbon fiber veil about 1/2" wide, the length of the sheeting. They are positioned in alignment at the TE, and held in place with a long straight edge. Thin CA is run along at the front edge only. This is just enough to tack it in-place. The majority of the cloth/veil will not be wetted-out until the trailing edge sheeting pieces are mated together, later.

These pictures show Tim tack-gluing his two pieces.
