Was it right after completing the tail cone, as the manual indicates? Or only after attaching the tail cone to the rest of the fuselage? Best Carlos ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:44:49 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Empennage attachment From: Bob Leffler I attached mine late in the build due to limited space in my garage. Tail c one was mounted as soon as the fuselage was ready to accept. The tail feath ers weren't mounted until I moved the project to the hangar.

It can be done right away or after the f wf. It really doesn't matter. If you do it right away for drilling and fairi ngs, then you can disassemble and store the parts for paint and final instal lation at the airport. Control rigging obviously can't be done until that ti me, but you can rig the controls on final assembly as well. I think you woul d be happy to have the fairings done to have the feeling of completion while working on the other parts.

What a wonderful adventure and the photographs are amazing. I never knew those glaciers were so dramatic looking and congratulations on completing all 50 states. The 50 state video at the end is fantastic and I appreciate seeing the girls grow up in the back seat of your 10. I have a feeling that one day they will be in the front left seat just like Andrea and I look forward to seeing your Alaska specific videos once completed. Thanks for sharing, Robin Sent from the new iPad ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 12:22:10 PM PST US From: Bill Watson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Quickbuild fuselage > I have one more question about the fuselage interior, which is common > for those who used the QB fuse and for those who didn't: > > -Is it necessary to paint the aluminium sheets of the cockpit > interior, or the upholstery will cover it entirely? > > Depends on your interior. I went with Abbey's Flight Line interior. As part of their full interior with carpeting and side panels, they provide a drawing of what painting is required to fill-in around what they provide. The painting was minimal and was done after construction was completed. I've heard that they may no longer do carpet (?). If so, the story may be different. BTW, I love my interior and so does my co-pilot. Clearly a simple painting of the interior panels along with seat covers (Vans style) would produce a very serviceable and light weight interior too. Depends on your desires.

I installed Aerosport Products interior panels and headliner. I recommend t hem highly. With them there is very little aluminum and fiberglass exposed. There are many that do their own interiors, so then it would depend on what y ou design. My recommendation would be to review vendor and other builder web sites to d etermine what your taste and budget will allow.
