wing building

[TJay 1041]

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, 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

The Avid manual tells you (with the wing upside-down) to set up a vertical (should be 91 degree) post the same height as your strut and spar fuselage fittings, then attach your struts to that and to the spar fittings before clamping and drilling the spar fittings - something like you described, but without using the fuselage.
