Wrapping up the Tailcone - What to do before top Aft Skin attach?

[ERushing]

I'm finally wrapping up the Tailcone and should be attaching the aft top skin this weekend. My QB Wings don't arrive until mid-October and I'm taking the EAA Composite class in late October so I'm trying to figure out what to do between now and then.

Any recommendations on work to do now while the top skin is still off? Antenna doublers? (If so, any recommendations on ADSB, transponder, ELT, location would be appreciated) Avionics shelf? NACA vents and routing?

Airplane will be a cross country IFR machine. Considering dual-battery, dual-alternator architecture. Likely will be AFS avionics but we'll see how things develop over the next year or so.

Thanks for your guidance!

Don't do it...

Everyone that I have spoken with said to leave that skin open until the very last minute to facilitate access to the tailcone area..:

Good point!

Good point! That still leaves me with a month of time to fill!
