starting on wings

[TJay]

here is a good question for you guys I have been looking at the manual about building the wings for my kitfox 1 and it states place the wing strut attach brackets on the spars, and rivet them in place before rigging, it gives a measurement of like 86 1/2 inches then it says drill, debur, glue and rivet. Now to me it makes more sense to hose clamp them on, then after rigging attach them. like I see pictures of people doing. what do you guys think

Have you found the kitfox service bulletins and letters yet? http://kitfoxaircraft.com/FAQ-Tech.htm

Here's a wing rigging service letter http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/support/service_letters/sl25a.htm

The numbers will be different for your model 1 but I would use this process. It will help you get both wings rigged the same in relation to the leveled fuselage.

On the Model 7 we hose clamped them on first at the specified dimensions, then rigged them on the airplane and made small adjustments with the clamps until everything was right, then drilled, glued and riveted.
