Just planning logistics for my build, and need some advice.
My workspace can fit the fuselage, tailplane, engine and one wing... not both. My wings are finished, and all sheet metalwork finished on the fuselage except for the wing fairings. Plans say I shouldn't fit the floor until wing fairing installed due to rivetting access.
My workshop is warm, dry, with a rubberised floor and 20 feet from home. The hangar is 10 miles away, cold, wet, and with an unpainted concrete floor that is as dusty as ****, so I want to do as much work at home as possible... at least until spring.
Do the wings need to be installed before the fairings are riveted to the fuselage, or can they be trimmed to the drawing specs, fitted and then final trimmed later when the wings go on?
