At the point of drilling the alignment holes in the main/aft spar to get everything squared up. Wondering if anyone has some tips on fitting the main wing skins. Van's instructions say to fit the main wing skins first, then the leading edge skin. I've read another builder's site who fit the bottom main, leading edge, tank and then the top main skins in that order. I can understand the key here is getting everything lined up and gaps fit closely. I will have to flip the wing to the other side of my jig to skin the bottom (or top if I start opposite) so that means setting it up twice, although the second time should prove a little easier once the main skins on one side have been drilled/cleco'd.
