    Having the tape holding the leading edge in place allows to bottom wing skin angle to line up so I can easily fold it back to apply glue to the spar. Much easier than dripping glue into the wing cavity trying to get it where it needs to go.

    Bottom Skin Folded back to apply glue. Note the tape holding it in place. This will allow quick and easy skin alignment after glue applied.
