Putting this out for others' input. I'm working on fuselage section 29 now - this is the "big" one where bulkheads are joined with drag fittings, lower skins mated, and longerons/side skins get added.
The next section is where the tailcone gets joined to main fuselage section, followed by various sub-systems like brakes, fuel, rudder pedals. Looking at logistics of this order, it seems to me that it will be easier to do much of this work on a smaller main piece - i.e. before joining the two sections together.
What are the pros/cons of moving forward on fuel/brake/rudder sections before the "big join"? I am doing much of the work solo and it will be easier to access things on a more manageable size piece.
