Europa-List: Spar guides?

As I see the underside of the CM resting vertically on the floor w/ the 
wings nicely mated and spar sockets in place, it occurs to me to 
consider whether or not a couple of FG straps part way around the spars 
might be useful to aid in the insertion of the wing spars during normal 
rigging. Since I understand that the spar ends (between the two main 
bolts/pip pin) I would think that such guide straps would want to be 
held off the edges of the spar a nominal distance (1/8"?) in order not 
to transmit in flight loads to portions of the CM not designed to take 
them. .

I'm wondering if this is something others have done (?), whether it's a 
good idea (?) or am I trying to address something which simply isn't a 
problem (?) and just adding unnecessary weight and build-time?

Obsessing again,

Fred
