Like the rudder, the leading edge skins get rolled and riveting together. This time I cut rod that was slightly longer than the longest section and rolled each section individually. In the first picture only one small section has been rolled. Kathy helped me roll the sections and it was easy work. After you do one side you flip it over to do the other side. That gets trickier.
The way we rolled all the sections was Kathy grabbed the bar in the middle and I stood behind her and grabbed the ends. That works great on the first three sections, but after you turn it over your hands run into the newly rolled section. To do these, I grabbed the rod on the ends and Kathy lifted up the rolled section until I could get my knuckles past the edge. Then I stopped and she got her hands on the rod and we rolled it the rest of the way. Her hands are small enough that she could clear the edge of the skin.
