09-17-2011:

Finished building the leading edge cradle. The cradle was an easy piece since there is no need to make it perfect straight. The leading edge alignment is ensured by the pre-punched skin and nose ribs. Instead of using some  kind real padding material for pad, I just used 1/2" wide mounting tape. It worked well.

With cradle done, I clecoed the leading edge ribs and skin together, and then clecoed the leading edge assembly to the wing. All these went smoothly.
