I'm building a Pitts S1C from Steen Aero Lab plans. I am working on wing assembly now. The print shows four parts located behind the rear spar called cove strips. There dimensins are 9/16" x 1 1/8" by different lengths. The shortest is about 6" and the longest is just over 20". I do not know what these are for or how they are installed because there is no cross section view on the drawings. I have the old Curtis plans and they are not shown there.
Can anyone explaine to me what these are for.
When I call Steen Aero I get someone who can't answwer the questionand they never return my phone calls or e-mails.


Thanks
Matt
