Hello group

I am quickly approaching section 32 where you attach the tailcone. As I am heavily ‘shop space challenged’, I’d like to postpone this step as long as possible. My idea is to:
- Temporarily attach (cleco) the tailcone and do what can be done in the baggage area.
- Remove the tailcone and finish the rest of the fuselage (including cabin cover).
- Install the engine, cowling & panel.
- Finally install the tailcone completely.

Jesse had an image recently where the cabin cover was installed without tailcone so it seems to be possible. What are the traps and gotchas with this approach? What can be done in the baggage area and what not?

Thanks everybody in advance.

Lorenz.

I didn't see Jesse's picture concerning attachment of the cabin top without attachment of the tailcone but I suspect it must have been merely a sitting on of the cabin top to the fuselage and not an install.

Not having attempted to do any work in the baggage area without the tailcone attached I can't say for sure what is and is not possible but I would not recommend removing the tailcone and attempting to do the cabin top before attachment.

If you permanently attach the cabin top before you attach the tailcone,
you're going to have a heck of a time getting the tailcone on later. I
had a hard time getting things lined up properly with 2 people and the
top wide open where I could see what I was doing and had access to
everything, I can't imagine trying to do it with the cabin top in the way.

I also don't think you can do a whole lot in the baggage area without
the tailcone on.

In complete agreement, I don't think you can do much of anything. Do not
even try unless you wnat to rebuild the entire thing again. I have been
working on this area for two weekends and I am skipping steps because my
wires are in the mail and my baggage floors are not riveted in yet, but the
tailcone has been on for a month now. This part seems to be going very slow
as I keep having to plan ahead as to not fall into a trap. Ordering and
waiting on mail deliveries.
