Before You Start

Modifications to Consider

  • Consider if you want to add one or two landing lights in the leading edge of your wings. This can be done later, but it is slightly easier to do it while you complete this section. Van's has the LL LENS KIT RV-10 that provides the materials for two landing lights. (SECTION OP-52: LANDING LIGHT)

Hints

  • Page 17-3

Be sure to put some bubble wrap, blanket, towel or other padding in the bottom of the leading edge before riveting the leading edge in the cradle. A dropped bucking bar can cause serious damage to the leading edge skin. Don't ask me how I know.

Consider using shorter rivets for some of the nutplates where the shop head might interfere with the spar, see this FB post and this one.
