An airport friend thought this wasn't done until I want to set the lower wing incidence angle. Anyone know if this is true?

You mount the wings to the front fittings, rear fittings on the rear spars, set fuselage level, wings at proper incidence and dihedral and zero sweep back. Then tack weld fittings in place, remove wings, finish blacksmith and weld rear fittings to fuselage. Sincerely, Kevin Kimball, VP Engineering Jim Kimball Enterprises, Inc.
