W01 Wing Installation

All,
It seems like I should not rivet the wing walk/ root doublers until after the wings are installed. Is this right?

Yes that's correct Bryan. The normal way is to rigg wings first, then measure how much needs to be trimmed off the doublers for the gap seal.

That is what it calls for on my wings Bryan. I believe it is so you can remove / trim them back later after wing rigging to prevent interference with the fuselage.

Yes the wing root gap seals and wing walk are done after the wings are fitted. A great way to trim the root seal is shown on Bob Meyers site.
