All the skins are clecoed on! (kind of)

All I have to do now is get that %^&* leading edge skin cleocoed down onto the spar. It's a major wrestling match to get this dude in place. I have to mention here that one of the right aileron leading edge skins was formed totally different from the left aileron leading skin. The right skin was curved on the bottom with the top of the skin was straight out from the leading edge bend. The left skin was completely opposite. The bottom of the skin was flat and the top of the skin was curved. Here's the weird part, the right leading edge skin went on without any trouble and the left leading edge skin was a major pain in the bahootie to put on. Also the right skin had no arc across the counterbalance pipe, unlike the left skin which had 1/8" arc across the counterbalance pipe.
