The leading edge that came out of a metalized wing ended just short under the curvature at the nose of the leading edge. It's riveted to another sheet metal that reaches down to the lower spar cap. Can it be that the Forneys and Alons are having one piece leading edges? However, it seems to me that the leading edge can be used the as is when you metalize .... or am I wrong?

The fabric wing uses a shorter metal leading edge that stops about 2 inches from the spar. The metal covered wings leading edge goes all the way to the spar.
