Here is my idea on the wing build. Build the outer wing panel first. Using a jig I have build both outboard wing sections completely. The builder would go home to his boat with both wings completed. The fuselage is then leveled and the wing attach fittings are drilled onto the center spars. The center spars would not have the ribs or be glassed yet. You then glue in the center stub ribs, foam and glass. That way all outboard wings are the same. You could make another pair and they would fit the same fuse or others done in the same process. I am also looking at selling stub wing skins to make that portion of the job easier. I could attach a wing and finish the center stub in a couple days here at the shop but could be done easily at your home. This also eliminates a lot of the "flipping" of the airplane over.

I'm not sure though how you would build the outer wing panels without the spars attached to the center section spars for proper jigging and fit of the wing attach fittings. They have to be a perfect fit. Maybe I'm missing something.
