OK that makes sense - 

So having closed the wing you then have to take off the ailerons to
post-cure them - I assume that is it possible to reattach them (albeit a bit
fiddly) and specifically the aileron link rod through the inspection hole??

Or did you post cure and finish your ailerons prior to closing the wing?

Hi Will,

It sounds risky. I know builders that have done it without the upper
skin but then you need to build up exactly same height in order to
"simulate" the skin, if you are using the template. 

I did set the wing incidence before the uni reinforcing plies. The
template sits more accurate on the wing without uni.

My next task is to set the wing incidence.

Can one do this with the wings still open?  - in other words, without
the
upper surface and the uni reinforcing plies?

Any tips/bright ideas as to how to make this task easier...

Use beer cans, when empty flush out, run a sharp knife round the middle
leave to dry.Instant one shot mixing cup, ok a bit rough edged can clean
up
with scissors if you want. 
To get you started get in a batch of your favourite brew and some mates
around drinking and telling lies to each other, soon have a ready pile.
This approach allows you to argue successfully that you are saving heaps
of
money by not squandering it on purpose made mixing cups.

Cheers.
