Major milestone on my Skybolt project--wings finally ready for cover. Now moving on to the fuselage which is recently back from powder coat. Couple progress photos included. First time builder wondering if there is a logical order for stuffing everything into the fuselage. It seems like many if not most things likely to get in the way of whatever follows in the sequence. Any major pitfalls I should be aware of? Can anyone suggest a strategy for getting everything fabricated and installed? To list a few: fuel, electrical, instruments, sheet metal, brakes, comm, controls, floor (or heel pans), and probably several others. Would like to delay the engine (IO-360A-B) overhaul as long as possible, but there is a point where it will have to be hung to complete firewall, nose bowl, cowling and everything else in engine compartment. This forum has been an essential help in my project. As always, all input appreciated.
