Hello Rusty, well, there are different ways of doing it, and I have been rehearsing, in my mind, all the different ways.
If you use an anti-rotation pin, especially towards the LE of the wing, it will serve two purposes.
If you use the wing bolts, as the anti-rotation pin, there is a risk, that over time, the screw can erode the plywood, and then it will lose the set incidence.
Unless, you use a bolt, that is fixed to to the wing, and it has a larger body, that sits in the plywood of the fuselage, like a dowel. I will take pictures, when I get back in the shop. You will see what I am planning.
wanted to demonstrate how I made the TE:
1st, I picked the 48" x 4" x 3/8" thick balsa that is the most dense, as I want it to be as stiff as possible, for the TE of the aileron.
I then need to splice it to another segment, since the balsa is 48" in length, and the TE of the wing is roughly 56"...
I will be needing 4 of them, and it being 4" wide, easy to cut them into 1" wide strips....
now, time for me to glue them on, then I can shape the TE, and set the incidence.

I just did one wing TE! Maybe I can do the rest tomorrow.
Today, I did 4 surgeries, then left to the club, and Kyle and I flew out ADV and INT sequences respectively;. I flew the 300 ML and Kyle, the Yak 54. On the 3rd flight for Kyle, he calmly tells me: "I lost throttle control", and I thought he was joking. I kept telling him : "Hey, you are ripping the snot out of the prop!", and then he tells me again, "no throttle!!"
so He was able to get the airplane in an appropriate position, he killed the ignition, and was able to glide the airplane in with a pattern place contest "10" landing.!
SO, lots of fun today!!
I did do one wings TE, and it too, came out great!
More pictures tomorrow.

Nice save!
What was the problem?

I am going now to look and see what it is. Seems that the throttle servo froze. It was a forced dead stick landing.

Well at least with that you can li up first then go dead stick. Either way it sucks though.
