I first laid down the bottom spar onto the plans and cut it to size.   Then I stuck the ribs on according to the plans and applied thin CA.	I then added the top spar and the trailing and leading edge pieces.
Next I added the sheer-webbing in-between the ribs.	Now I needed to sheet the leading edge, but I had a small problem.   When I ordered my wood, I ordered several sheet of 1/16 x 4 x 48 to have a  one piece sheet to do the length of the 38 inch wing.  Well, all the  48 inch sheet was damaged in the shipping, so I needed to scab together  two pieces of 1/16 x 4 x 36 to sheet the leading edge on the top and  bottom.
To do this I overlapped two of the shorter sheets on the work  bench by about 2 inches.  I then marked a straight l line and used my  hand saw to cut the two pieces at a 45 degree angle.	This way I could  butt join the two pieces having more surface to glue to. I wanted more  surface because I knew that I was going to be curving the sheeting around  the leading edge of the wing.
To aid in the bending, I used rubbing alcohol to soften the wood and then every clamp I could get my hands on
