Speaking of sheeting ...

If I understood several earlier posts, some people use the "standard" method of applying the leading and trailing edges and then carefully trimming the sheeting to fit in the space before trimming the LE and TE to be level with the top of the skin.

Others add the LE and TE, trim them to be level with the edges of the ribs, and then apply the sheeting *over* the LE and TE before sanding the LE contour to a paper thinness.

With the ribs aligned by rods and feet, what would be the downside of sheeting and trimming to the front and tail of the ribs *before* adding the LE and TE ? It would seem to solve the problem of trimming the sheeting to fit between the LE and TE without having to sand the LE contour so thin.

Cheers,
