| Subject: | Delayed tail cone attaching? |
Greetings,
I'm figuring out space for building an RV-10, translation is that my wife
and I are passively shopping for a house.
I'm wondering if you can delay attaching the tail cone until after you've
completed the firewall forward, interior, windows, doors and just about
everything else that takes forever to finish?
Seems like you'd be able to build the RV-10 in a much smaller place if you
didn't have to attach the tail cone until much later, like at the airport.
Anyway, I'd love to hear some opinions on this.
Thanks,
Bill Judge

I don't think that would be a problem. The only issue that I can think of
would be at the baggage bulkhead. I think you'd have to wait to do that
until the tailcone is attached.

Longerons are integral to FWF and fuselage.

You really need the tailbone attached to be able to do doors and other thing
s. You could possibly attach the rear windows to the cabin top, but that's n
ot a big job. The cabin top installation requires the tailbone to be attache
d.
On the firewall forward, you would really want the upper forward fuselage at
a minimum, and I may worry about things being deformed in the back if I did
n't have the tailcone on, as John mentioned. I have replaced a tailcone on a
finished plane before, so it isn't physically impossible, but the tailcone h
ad originally been on when the rest had been done.
In short, it can probably be done, but it would introduce more risks than I w
ould want. At the very least I would want to Cleco the tailcone on and insta
ll the cabin top permanently before going to the fwf, and that would be abso
lutely necessary, IMHO, before doing the doors.

I built 90% of my project in one half of a two car garage. You'll want to a
ttach the tail cone, but you'll can leave the horizontal and vertical off un
til the airport. The biggest issue is where to store the empennage parts w
hile building the wings. I hung mine from the ceiling, but I have 14' ceil
ings in the garage. I couldn't put on the engine mount on in my garage due
to other things in the garage, but if your two car is empty, it shouldn't b
e an issue.
The fuselage and wings will take about the same amount of space.
You won't be able to complete many tasks without the tail cone riveted to th
e fuselage. Leaving it off wouldn't be my recommendation.
