Forward Face

Step 4 install the forward face

Work is progressing smoothly on the spar.  Here's a shot of the forward face, after its had micro applied, a single layer of BID, and been peel plied around the edges and joints.  I did not micro these pieces together in this shape before I did the layup, so, I added some wood pieces (covered with tape) and weight to prevent any mis-alignment of them during the cure of the glass.  The ends have been propped up to match the angle the pieces will have once installed on top of the rest of the spar.
A shot of the other end.  Nothing special to this layup, no rocket science.  Let it cure then micro it onto the rest of the spar.
I scissor trimmed this layup the following morning.
That's as far as I have gotten on the site. 

Having said that, know that I have built through step 6, the spar cap layups. 

Enjoy the pictures for now - I'll get the text up soon.
