Hi all,
This may fall in the category of "you should know when" but I am struggling with when to rivet in the upper forward fuselage. I have fitted and installed the engine mount, brakes lines, rudder pedals, fuel lines (thanks Tom @ TSFlightlines), firewall mounted components like the cabin heat inlet, starter and master relays, battery box and sensor mount. Alot of stuff pretty much done, but now I can't seem to decide when to need to rivet the upper forward fuselage components (less the F-771 forward top skin) before I mount the engine and fit and finish the canopy. So, I am curious as to how others have sequenced this part of the build and if there are any gotchas at this stage?
Thanks,
