Being somewhat of a deviant in some (not all) areas, I've installed the motor mount, gear legs, wheels, leg fairings, and pants to get all those odds & ends properly aligned without the wings in the way. Pants & fairings have now been removed & stored.
Now I'm contemplating the removal of the gear legs & returning the fuse to its dolly to do the engine/cowl fitting, plumbing, wiring, etc. This is with the idea that work will be easier with the fuse closer to the ground. I'll eventually need to 'unhang' the engine to have it overhauled (waiting until the last moment for that expense), so any rework would likely have to happen anyway.
Also, I haven't yet riveted on any of the top skins, front or rear.
Any major issues there if I hang the engine at this point?
Thanks,
Charlie
