The manual called for bonding them in place using micro with a 2 bid layup over the joints. I'm just about to the point where I'll build the flaps and ailerons, as I'm finishing those before starting the tail section so that I won't need to invert the plane again. (if I followed the manual, I would have had to right the plane, then re-invert it again after building the tail section, so I elected to finish the wings and it's control surfaces before righting the plane) Also, on the 320/360 the process of bonding on the stub wing skin specified micro at the BL50 rib and along the spar areas too. I wonder if the 2 bid layup at all the joints is enough structural bond to not need a structural material for filler and this is why the manual specifies micro as the initial bond/filler?
