Here's a question for you builders who have finished the "finish kit", and have done some things out of sequence due to space limitations. How did you handle the sequence of connecting/adjusting the flight controls that require the wings, empennage, and tail feathers to be in place? I am at a place now in the "flight controls" section that calls for connecting the control cables to the stabilator and rudder. Did you guys mount the tail feathers for these adjustments, and then remove them for storage, or did you just defer all the control hookups until you had room enough to permanently attach them and leave them there?
Same problem for drilling the flaperon attach fittings, that requires the wings to be installed. No way am I going to be able to attach a wing, even temporarily, until springtime when I can get the beast out into the driveway. How hard will it be to get at those fittings when the airplane is all together?
Any advice or war stories appreciated.
