drill. (The R-1010G Shear Clip may be temporary removed from the spar
while final-drilling these holes.) 12/30/07 |

| Step 2: Cleco together
the R-1003A and R-1003B to form the Top Rib, then final-drill the common

| Step 4: Cleco the R-1006
Trailing edge to the R-1001Skin. The ends of the trailing edge extend beyond the skins. Mark the locations of the skin edges on the trailing edge, then remove the trailing edge and file or sand the ends to the marks. Cleco the trailing edge back in place with the cleco going thru the skin and into the trailing edge. 12/30/07 |
