I'm planning to do as much work on the plane as I can in my shop before trailering it to a hanger. In part this is convenience, and part is I don't want to pay for a hangar until I need to. Given I'm not an experienced builder and don't (yet) have any special skills relevant to building a plane, I could see needing significant expert help when it comes to things like mounting the engine and installing avionics. Here are my questions:
1. Is it reasonable to do the engine and avionics off-airport? Is it common for local build experts to make house calls?
2. Could I wait until the time of "final" wing installation to "final" install the horizontal and vertical stabilizers too? This has to do with space in my shop.
Thanks!
