Before you glue your leading edge sheeting to the ribs and leading edge, cut some 1/16 x 1/4 balsa strips between the ribs to let the edge of the sheeting rest on and provide a better bond. This is very important when building a Millennium type wing. Here are some pictures to illustrate this. NOTE: This is NOT a Millennium type wing.

Tom Morris supplied these in all his kits, starting with the profile P51. Great idea and thanks for bringing it to the attention of builders.

Ty,

That is who taught me to do it. I talked to Tom today and he sounded good but said he was fighting some health issues. I will not go into it on here but you are close enough to him to probably know. He is really a one of a kind man and gentleman.
