I have my priview plans, and am in the process of mentally coreographing my build processs.
I've determined that myworkshop/living room (they connect through sliding doors) will be plenty of room to build emp, wings and fuse, and that I'll even be able to simultaneously mount both wings to fuse (with the rear of the fuse poking out the door and into the closet across the hall).
but I have one question. at 3ft wide I won't be able to get the fuse through the shop door upright, but tilted 90 degrees (without canopy or rollbar) I'm just about there. The bulkhead to which the panel will mount is probably just a tad to high to clear. assuming I do not want to "modify" the doorframe, can anyone give me any advice in terms of the order of operations riviting and skinning those areas of the fuse?
...can I leave the top segments of those bulkheads clekoed and still get most of the work on the fuse done?
...how much work will I be able to get done on the canopy before that area is skinned? I want to do as much in the house as possible.
I let the wife know that we may have a fuselage in the hallway for a while, as our front door is 2 inches wider and I'll want to finish up on the fuse before the next stage... ....she's been very cool thus far.
any thought? or photos of 8's being freed from tight squeezes?
thanks,
