I bought my emp kit last year and am finally getting around to assembly. I'm kind of glad I didn't build it sooner, since the SB for the HS front spar doublers would have prompted me to remove my skins, like so many here have done already.
I plan to install the doublers even though I could build without. Since the instructions for the SB kit installation are written from the perspective of an already-built tail, I'm finding myself scratching my head more than usual to move on with building (ie edge distances are called out on items that are not yet drilled, etc...).
Has anyone installed the doublers as part of a "ground up" build (as apposed to a partial dis-assembly/ re-assembly)? If so, what was your process?
My plan is to get everything drilled as per original plans (accept 405?), then install the doubler, then rivet everything together.
