Wing leading edge replacement

[Ryan Allen]

So my wing leading edges are aleady nailed shut with aluminum skins. I have heard from several that wooden is the way to go.

What’s involved on reskinning with wood?. I am still working on getting a set of plans to even know what I would need to order. Is the wood a flat sheet or is anyone making them shaped for the airfoil and selling?. If you have to start with a flat sheet, what’s involved in getting a nice curve for the leading edge airfoil?

thanks
Ryan
