I measured the wing doublers according to the plans and narrative. 26" x 9 3/8". I looked at how it would sit in relation to the wing. From reading all the build logs, it was obvious that it wasn't going to sit "about an inch" over the rear spar. It was conceivable that it was going to sit around the 5/32" mark that everyone seems to mention. So I started to cut them on the band saw.
Once they were roughly cut. I went to work with the files and slowly worked them down to the finished dimension. Once I was satisfied with the edges/measurements. I set them on the wings skins and checked alignment. Ensuring the skins sat back the 9/16" from the top edge, I clamped the doubler. I then taped all edges, removed clamps.
Carefully flipped the assembly over and started to match drill.
I cleco'd them onto the skins and It appears that I do have overlap, not the 5/32" more like 3/32". I still have good edge distance so I will carry on.
