I just received my -14A SB wing kit yesterday after a 13 month wait. Looking through the printed instructions, I see they have you start with the main spars, then ribs, then the rear spar, skins, etc. The last components are flaps and ailerons, with tanks and leading edges in the middle. This seems backwards to me, as I then have to store the large wings somewhere for several/many months. Is there any good reason that the control surfaces could not be built first,then the tanks and leading edges, followed by the spars/ribs/skins? This would minimize the time these big wings would have to be stored and risk damage.
