Combat 20,

Good idea using the spruce!

I replaced the goofy wing hold down setup with a Dubro 1/4-20
setup which was very similar to the kit pieces.

Crazy Mike,

I full length tack the sheeting to the leading edge with thin CA, then I wet the sheeting with windex, form it to the contour till it holds the shape.

I then use Slow CA on the ribs, press the sheeting down with a large straight edge until the glue holds, and then grab a beer.
