Since I don't know when my fuselage kit might arrive (was scheduled for January), I'm looking to spend my time totally finishing my wings, including the fiberglass tips. The bottom skins have not been installed yet, and I'm wondering if there is any reason why I shouldn't install them?
I've already installed and wired the roll-servo, installed and wired the heated pitot assembly, and plumbed the pitot/AOA lines. All the wiring and plumbing is fully installed out to the wing roots. I've installed the FlyLED wingtip lights in the fiberglass tips, so all that is left is to run the wires through the wing conduit. I have multiple pull strings in the conduits if anything has to get pulled later.
At the very least I don't see why I shouldn't install the inboard skins. But if I install all the bottom skins, then I can completely finish the wing tips. I'm experienced with fiberglass, so there's no reason to wait until I do other fiberglass work like the cowl.
