I'm new to flying and newer to building. I've picked on a local top builder that owns a LHS for advice. Gees, I have found myself sanding parts before assembly - those that ya can't get to after assembly. I've tried to use dadoes for attaching the ribs to the leading and trailing edges. It all depends on what puts a smile on your face at the end of the day!
