can anyone tell me how to install the wing root skin on a 750 that wraps around the leading edge without it buckling in several places.  this seems to be the most challenging part of the entire airplane has anyone else had this problem.

Probably the one time plans building had an advantage as I did not have any predrilled holes to contend with.  I made a template for my first wing (building second wing now) and it took me about six hours to make it. I guess template because it is only clecoed until the wings are on, then who knows.   Very tedius, but one thought, in the link that Paul posted I agree that the "L" angle is crucial and is discussed there.  Good luck...

Thanks Tim
