Left Wing 4
Although it certainly is not required, I did put a light coat of primer on the inside of the wings. Given that this won't be my last kitplane, I thought it would help the resale value slightly if it was all primed internally. When doing so, I tried to limit the focus of the primer to the rivet lines, as that is where any potential moisture might be trapped.
Next comes time to assemble the leading edge. By this time, clecoing the whole assembly together goes real smooth. If you are doing this without help (as I was), you will find it helpful to use a lower height table and secure the jig to the table. I used a couple of L brackets, and they seemed to work fine.

The whole assembly is then riveted together rather easily...gun and bucking bar on the internal pieces, and rivet squeezer for the outer ones. I found it easiest to get the gun on the forward-most rivets by hanging the end of the leading edge (in the cradle) off the side of the table.
