Empennage completion: attach everything and then disassemble for storage?

[ymc9]

I've started to work on the tailcone. A completed empennage is not too far ahead!

I assume it's a good idea to attach everything (without fully tightening the bolts) even if I need to disassemble the parts to save storage space. Is it what people usually do?

A lot of people leave the tail cone off until much later in the build. I attached my tail feathers to make sure that everything fit together, but promptly took them back off to make storage easier. It's a bit of a pain to put the horizontal stabilator back on later, but it was worth it for the ease of getting around things in the garage. It probably also reduced the possibility of hangar rash before I ever got out to a hangar!
