I'm going to be building an RV-8A in my basement. I have an existing shop space that I am going to expand a bit, but I want to keep my wife happy by not taking too much space from the other uses of the basement. I definitely don't have the political capital it would take to claim enough space to have both wings attached at the same time. But I might be able to take enough space to have one wing attached with enough space to move around, if it's worth it.
So what I'm wondering from those with build experience is whether there's much work that has to be done with the wings attached, and if so, whether it's practical to attach one wing at a time, do the work, and then switch the wings?
