Just about to place the wing skeletons on the stands for skin fitting, seems that putting the skins on 1st with clecos would elliminate most of the sagging issue. Once on the stands I'd place the jack stands etc. as per instructions to support the skeleton for the rest of the process.
Blah blah blah so question is, is there some reason not to do it this way and to hang the sketeton and then have to shim the skeleton straight as per Van???
PS, my wife had her first build experience Sunday and partnered for the entire riveting of the left wing skeleton!!!! Wooooohooooo, I've got a build partner finally.![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

We drilled out 2 of the 1st 3 rivets and she wanted to quit. Wouldn't let her though and the only one drilled out after that was my doing.
