Thanks for all your replies. If I understand it all correctly, there is no reason
to cut the slot before the top goes on, which was my main concern. Better to
do it later and with the tie bar to ensure best fit.
Right, that means that tomorrow the top goes on! Fingers crossed...

Jeroen,
I may not be privy to all the other comments you've received; however,
as must have been apparent from the photos I sent you off-list, I cut
the tie bar recess AND installed the tie bar BEFORE bonding on the
top. This means of course that I set the wing incidence before bonding
on the top. I did so on purpose in order to avoid the awkwardness and
difficulty I imagined if I were to do this work after the bonding of
the top.
I felt that I could change the order build because I had a great deal
of confidence that the support cradle for the lower fuselage was
keeping the fuselage aligned and true...I also clecoed the fuselage
top securely in place before setting the angle of incidence of the
wings. As I had hoped, everything remains aligned and true.
Incidentally, by holding off until the last possible moment to bond on
the top, I found that I was able to accomplish A LOT of tasks relating
to wiring, antennas, etc. aft of the baggage bay and avoid the
challenges of limited access thru the "D" panel.
just my 2 cents worth of experience,
Fred

Jereon Hi!
I did the same as Fred and for the same reasons. My bottom fuselage half was rigid
in it's cradle. It all worked out well.
Another option!

Jeoren-
Delay putting the top on as long as you can. Any work you can do before it is on
is MUCH easier without it, including the tie bar. The instructions are very
clear that you put the top on early but the practice in the US has been to delay
it. As far as I know, it has never created a problem. Get as much done to the
halves as you can before you bond them!

Hi! Good morning happy campers!
I'm all flight planned for my flight to Elstree this morning.
HOWEVER IF YOU INTEND FILING /PARTICIPATING IN THE DAMNED OLYMPICS TRIAL
PLANNING FRACUS DON'T EXPECT A FILE NUMBER RETURNED UNLESS YOU HAVE FILED
ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH THE asi INITIATIVE and I'm not pissing about with
that at this time of the morning.
Swanick were very nice and helpful faxing me back an approved plan BUT IT'S
WORTHLESS FROM THE POINT OF THE FLIGHT PLAN DAY !!
How f-----------ing stupid are we?
Regards to all
