I'm ready to permanently attach the leading edge assembly to the main spar on my RV-7 build, but I want to wait until I have some help before tackling the notorious leading edge rib-to-spar rivets. Is there any reason why I shouldn't squeeze the skin to spar rivets first? The instructions say to rivet the ribs to the spar first, but I can't think of a good reason why the order would matter.
Any tips or advice very welcome at this point - the leading edge came out quite nicely with my wife's help and she'll kill me if I mess it up while attaching it to the wing!
