Thank you Bob



I tried to find them in your build log, but I didn't.

Could you please point me out to the exact place where to find this

particular subject.



Carlos

I didn't have to do anything except not to rivet it in place.    It comes

off very easily. You can see many photos on my build log.

Please explain how you made possible for your upper fuselage assembly to

come off even with the cabin cover bolted in place.

Please include pictures.

Carlos

I riveted the upper fuselage assembly well after the engine was mounted and

the cabin cover was attached.   It comes off pretty easily even with the

cabin cover bolted in place.   I had it cleco'd in place to do the cowl.



It makes life much easier!

 Lots of people, me included, leave the upper fwd fuse removeable and 

 proceed to hang the engine.  It makes some of the rivets a bit 

 interesting to buck around where the motor mount attaches to the 

 firewall.  I'm now wiring up my panel on the bench and my motor is 

 secured

to the plane.

Look at 5/24/10  in the finish kit section.   



12/29/11 in the panel section



 You can see that the upper fuselage is just cleco'd in.  All you have to do is slightly tilt it to get it out.
