Rowland,
Having ample working room and proper alignment are the important
considerations...suit yourself.
As I recall I made the spar strap after I'd bonded in the CM. I had
both wings in supports vertically w/ leading edge down with both spar
pins installed (I actually used temporary bolts)...thus the two spars
were lapped, and there was nothing in the way while fitting the little
cardboard ramps, bond breaks, and when wrapping the layups.
