Nice size windows. How much does the window open? Or can the window be easily removed when needing to transfer? People have done this build in smaller rooms. Anything to get you going forward on the build is a good thing.

Fred makes a very good point.
Make a cradle which holds the bottom half in place from Firewall to tail. My fuse has a slight twist (one end of the tail is 1cm lower than the other) which is the result of not supporting the tail
Put absolutely everything in with the top off including all the electrics and the instrument panel. You could probably get the bottom half out easier and then glue the top on somewhere else.
Do remember that the canoe is very floppy and can break easily if not supported.

A watchword for building the Europa when working on the fuselage is to delay the bonding of the top to the canoe for absolutely as long as possible...thus there is a considerable amount of work which can be done without worrying... and when that’s all finished, you’ll want to trial fit with clecoes, after which you can give it a go thru the window...no harm done.
