Question about my wings: what all needs to be done before riveting the bottom skins on the wings. I've got the bellcrank on and pushrods hooked in... looks like these can be torqued and tweaked later through the access panel. I've got wiring conduit which I'll put in prior to closing the wing.
1) What about the pitot-tube and pitot-line? Should these be installed prior to riveting the bottom skins on, or can they be done easily through the access panels and rib lightening holes?
2) The order of things in the plans have you fitting hte ailerons and flaps prior to riveting the lower skins on. Is this necessary? Would like to leave ailerons and flaps off until assembly time.
3) Anything else I need to be sure to do before closing-up the wings?
