Sounds like you have the latest. Does your top have a sticker with "inspected on xx/yy/zz" printed on it? If so, what's the date on the sticker?
Not currently Kyle. I might have removed it though. I got it with my quickbuild back in Sept.

My cabin top was all pink and was manufactured in 2016. I think you have the more recent version.

- permanently attached top to fuselage.
- fit all avionics racks and panel to forward fuselage top while on bench.
- fit and installed parking and heat cables and installed firewall pass through
- permanently installed forward fuselage top and installed all windows
- glassed in windows and built windshield fairing and started blending doors to top and setting door gaps.
- took break from fiberglass and worked on harness and panel install and wiring every now and then to break up the monotony of filling and sanding.

This process worked well for me and was the most efficient way I could think of.

Interesting, this is great. And I guess you're waiting to paint the inside of the doors until after the door blending and gap-setting?
