Safety issue?
Ray questioned the safety of not attaching the outboard leading edge ribs to the wing spar as a normal leading edge would. I didn't do this to keep the leading edge removable but I didn't take into account the 'shear' forces in this area. My plan at this point is to create a splice plate that ties the outboard wing rib to the outboard leading edge rib. I'm not sure what I could do about the other two ribs since access is severly limited at this point.
