Title: Wing jig and installing skins
Went back to plan A and will work on the wings in parallel vice sequential for a few reasons. Allows be to compare how the wings are coming together immediately and address ay deviations and it simplifies the flow of work. I used my re-purposed fuselage stands to hold the inboard end of the wings and I have a couple of sawhorses that are just the right heights to make the main spar level to the ground. My golden rule with this kit is if the holes don't align there is an issue how I assembled it - and in a few places the holes in the skins don't align with the holes in the ribs. However, the misalignment was identical on both wings - same locations - and was able to conclude that the flaw was in the manufacturing and I was able to easily adjust. I doubt this is an problem on the retractable landing gear version - but for LSA version the skin and some ribs are made differently. Once I got the skins aligned, I began drill out the hole on the spars into the skin which requires removing one side of the skins to access the predrilled holes. There are a lot of holes and I'll need to get more clecos to finish the job. I'm planning on rotating the wings 180 degrees IOT align the leading edge skins
