I need some guidance on build order.
I'm at the point in the fuselage kit where the instructions sort of taper off...
So I'm trying to decide what to do next. I know (think?) it doesn't matter to a large extent what I do, but I have a few considerations.
1 - I have my engine, but not my avionics. I'd like to put off the avionics purchase for a while still if possible. However, if I need to buy a few things now (soon) (VP-X?) that would be ok.
2 - I'm seriously considering getting some help to do my canopy (slider). He would like to start on it in the next month give or take. I would need to get the top skins on before he can do that.
I just installed the rudder pedals and fuel lines today. Floor pans are in, flap motor is in (still need to cut holes for the flap rods).
So my short question is, what do I do next?
My somewhat longer question is. If I concentrate on getting the top skins on, what do I need to get done first? What if any avionics should I put in first? What about in the tail cone? I'm working on the Static system today (waiting for the RTV to dry), have the rudder cables installed.
Thanks for any help!
