The KAI is a bit confusing regarding the correct direction to rivet part 10 for the rear spar skin support channel. After watching various videos, which were difficult to see this level of detail properly, I riveted from the top with the tails facing the flaps. This felt incorrect and likely to cause interference, so I contacted Sling who sent me a picture indicating they should be riveted from the rear. I removed the old rivets and installed replacements in the correct direction and now feel a lot more comfortable - trust your instincts when something feels wrong! Will touch up some primer later once the wing is complete, rivets filled etc.
