[Wing] Simultaneous Wing Building

[Ken Hoshowski]

Tedd,
 If I were building another RV I would definately build both wings at the
same time.  It is much easier to fabricate a left and a right gusset at the
same time, or numerous other parts.  I seem to recall making two right hand
instead of one left and one right  because there were 6 months between wings
and I didn't pay attention to the fact that I was now building the opposite
wing to the drawings.
Couple of suggestions, when drilling rib attach brackets take a look under
the spar to see what you are drilling into and when predrilling holes in
brackets don't assume all the holes in all the brackets will be in the same
place.
Those of you who have prepunched parts need not worry about this but those
of us who didn't learned the hard way.
