This is with the piece of wood glued into the leading edge
Rounded edge
Semi-finished product
Stock/manual is to pinch the leading edges and trailing edges together and glue them. With the trailing edges that works and looks good. The leading edges, however, didn’t look right. There is very little material forward of the spar so the 3/32 ply sides don’t bend all that well. The manual calls for scoring the ply so it bends better. A friend, who’s a heck of a builder, suggested tapering a piece of 1/8x1/8 basswood and inserting it in the LE and then rounding that off...so that’s what I did and love the effect
