Title: SV 22 Leading edge question?
Post by: steve pagano on March 25, 2008, 09:28:19 AM

Hello All,


     On my new SV i am pretty much ready to join the wing but was wondering if the leading edge is to pointed and needs to be rounded more or if its good the way it is?

                                          T.I.A

Why don't you just put it up against the plans and see if the LE radius match?  If not sand till they do.

HI Steve

The LE looks a little sharp, this is the correct radius shown below, by the way  you really should have plans to build a plane, this is shown on the plans
