This is the wing setup procedure I used for the outer wing panels.

If the fuselage is correctly leveled you can build one outer wing 
panel at a time with great accuracy.

*Level the fuselage as when setting up the wing center section
*Attach the forward outer spar.  Check for "plumb" at the tips of the 
outer spar.  If there is any twist in the outer spar, "build out" the 
twist by adjusting the 36" rib to the correct AOA.
*Attach the rear outer spar using upper WAF's and hold in the general 
correct location using a makeshift stand. NOTE:  The angle of the top 
of the rear spar to conform to airfoil shape is straight enough that 
it could have been cut on a table saw before any fittings were 
attached.  I'd suggest doing so as the upper attach fittings on the 
rear spar have little room for error in getting them placed correctly 
on the top edge of the spar. A bit more tolerance on the lower fittings.
*Properly position the 36" rib to the forward outer spar and then 
bring the rear outer spar in to location, attach and provide support, 
and drill and attach the lower WAF on the rear spar.  Verify 
the  correct washout angle using the lines on the 36" rib and epoxy 
the rib to the spars.
*With the spars in position and supported, and with the washout 
verified, foam and glass the top of the wing per plans.
*If using a 48" rib on the inboard end and with the 36" rib outboard, 
and with the top surface foamed and glassed, the wing panel can now 
be removed from the fuselage and the bottom side of the wing finished 
standing alone.  I turned mine over, built in the fuel tanks, filled 
and sanded to finish removed from the airframe.  With the top surface 
finished, the spars are held firmly in place and will fit like a 
glove to the center section again when finished.
*If space permits, do both wings at once or, if space is limited, do 
one wing, rotate the  fuselage, accurately re-level the boat and do 
the other wing.

Note:  When cutting out and building the ailerons, remember there is 
washout (twist) in the wing.  If the 1/4" aileron spar is built in to 
the aileron on a flat surface, one end or the other will not match 
the trail edge of the wing when the aileron is attached to the wing. 
(we won't go there. Just take my word for it.)  If this happens, one 
solution is to mount the wing to the fuselage(center section), clamp 
one end of the aileron in to position, use a Dremel or equivalent to 
cut the glass immediately behind the aileron spar approximately 3/4 
of the length of the aileron on the top side only.  This allows you 
to twist the aileron and clamp the other end in to proper 
position.  I filled the gap with flox, allowed it to cure, removed 
the aileron and hinge, and glassed the gap with four or five layers 
of the very fine deck cloth.  The deck cloth does a better job of 
doing the 90 degree corner than the KR cloth.  Try correcting that 
mistake on a tin airplane. :-)

This is the process I used to build my wings.  Many detail are left 
out such as installing tanks, lights, wiring, etc.,  that you will 
accomplish depending on which of the items mentioned are used.  One 
more note on wing and control surface trailing edges.  Many builder 
build one surface and , on the flip side trailedge, remove the foam 
down to the glass and epoxy the second side glass to the first side 
glass.  Then they fill and sand the trail edge to shape.  Some use a 
thin wood strip in the trail edge which I don't recommend for several 
reasons.  A simpler way, I think, to get nice trail edges is to build 
the two surfaces leaving approximately a 1/8" gap at the trail 
edge.  When cured, sand the trail edge to a straight line, hog out 
the foam between the two surfaces about a 1/4" to 3/8" using a wire 
brush on a Dremel tool.  Make sure you remove all the foam, right 
down to the glass.  Set the wing or control surface so the trail edge 
is vertical and fill with a resin rich flox mixture.  A flat stir 
stick works well for that by applying the mixture to the stick and 
then dragging it down along one edge of the glass, filling the gap 
until it starts oozing out of the gap next to the fill area.   When 
cured, cup a piece of sand paper, hold in your palm and sand the 
trail edge to a nice rounded 1/8" thick edge.  Given some modern 
design,  you might even research and utilize a thicker, square 
cornered trail edge as used on some of the highly aerobatic aircraft 
and business jets of the day.  You're on your own there.

That's pretty much it.  If this is clear as mud, I'm open for 
questions or rebuttal.  If you doubt the process works, I have a 500 
hour KR that has only one moveable trim tab for pitch and flies 
great.  That's another important area on building a nice flying KR 
that is not discussed much, the horizontal stabilizer AOA, but I 
won't go there right now.
