Im looking on suggestions of what sequence to move forward. My biggest concern is jumping around from section to section and missing something major.
Im fuselage Kit complete and have the landing gear and grove brakes and wheels fully installed. Id Like to hold off on canopy until later due to space limitations.
For background I've received and inventoried the all the kits. ENG/FWF, AVIONICS, FIN. All of it. Id like to draw on the knowledge of those that have completed the -12 to avoid any pit falls, grief, or best practices that you may have encountered/learned on your build.
Things I'm thinking about:
The rudder pedal attach cable in the forward center tunnel in Sect 38. Should I try and do these before the wiring bundles cover that area? or will I be able to get in and behind there if I do Common Elec system Sect 42 or avionics first?
Installing Avionics Kit Sect 42 PRIOR to engine installation Sect 46? Or doing engine first PRIOR to avionics?
My biggest question is dealing with Sect 38. Due to space limitations where im building id like to do this later, but id like to hear yalls feedback on putting off all the airframe fitment stuff until after the Eng, Prop, Cowling, Canopy etc is completed.
I know it s a broad question, but any tips and advice would help. In other words.....WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?
Thanks!
