Thanks, Scott! I guess I'm pretty stupid about fiberglass stuff.

I had to ask the question too.
Scott
With the LLE do you no longer require the extrusions on the front spar? I can't find them any where and I am wondering if i will even need them now.
The extrusions act as a spacer from the front spar, when installing the LLE. The template for locating them is in the build manual. I used three inch long pieces in the approximate location of each rib. They are sold by Kitfox Aircraft. I have a bunch left over that I can send.
Thanks Mr. Bill. I will look for these small piece this weekend and if I can't find them I will send you a PM. Thanks again!
Esser,
My extrusion pieces were shipped in the LLE kit. In the middle of the plastic wrap.

The instructions that I got called out 5 pieces, each 1.5" long, to be installed at the #1,3,5,7 & 10 ribs. Is that still the recommendation? Thanks, Phil or Bill.
You cut them out of a longer piece that came with the leading edges.

In the LLE instructions, it says cut 10 pieces 1.5 inch and line them up with the inboard edge of rib one. But in the pictures in step 2 on the far right side, it shows about a 4" long piece but up to the end of the spar. Any hints on which way is correct?
For whatever it's worth, Esser, I don't think it's very critical. You could make your pieces longer, or not. I made the ones in the middle, at the joint between the 2 LLE pieces, twice as long (approx. 3"). They're there mostly to just key the alignment & position of the LLE.

You are right John, the PVC pieces are simply for alignment. If
One is a little longer I would use it at where they join.
