The disadvantage to gluing the side sheeting on early in the game is that youraccess into the fuselage will be limited. This will become more of an issue whenyou start trying to fit and install the seats and control system, since youwill only be able to access the space through the top (assuming you have installedthe floor as well.Many builders opt to postpone the installation of the side sheeting as long aspossible, in order to retain as much access as possible during the constructionprocess.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ______Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 19:49:33 -0400Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: Fuselage Side
