Hi all
I've read in the forum that I shouldn't touch the wing spars just use them as is. But man are they a little rough! Sharp edges, tooling steps, etc. Vans guidance in section 5 is to file the edges on everything to remove the tooling marks, why doesn't the spars need this done?
Also, what about the aluminum angles (for rib attachment) that are pre-riveted to the spar? Their edges are pretty rough also, are they fair game for a little SB wheel or file?
