General Build Notes

• In this section one prepares the upper and lower wing skins prior to gluing and riveting them in place. The KAIs never tell you to break the aft edge (see source here) of the lower skin so that it lays flat on the flap cove skin, which slopes up towards the top skin and somewhat loads the bottom skin upwards. See SECTION 32: Aileron and Flap Cove Skins. Recommendation is to break the aft edge.
