Or better option, design your panel to come out of the plane as an assembly.
At some point or another panel work will come your way, either a fix or the
amazingly frequent modifications that you will want to do. For the annual
my first step is to remove the panel for better access. Start to finish
this only takes 10 minutes or so.
WRT engine mount I'm not sure if the upper forward fuselage makes a
difference or not. I had the fuselage 100% done before engine mount -
including interior paint.
Carl
190 hours and already on the second panel design.

Please explain how you made possible for your upper fuselage assembly to
come off even with the cabin cover bolted in place.

I riveted the upper fuselage assembly well after the engine was mounted and
the cabin cover was attached. It comes off pretty easily even with the
cabin cover bolted in place. I had it cleco'd in place to do the cowl.
It makes life much easier!

Following similar requests I made to other -10 builders, and obviously being
very interested in using a removable instrument panel, will you please
describe your solution.
If possible, please include pictures.

I did all the wiring and engine installation before riveting on the fwd
upper fuse, bolting down the cabin top, and riveting the aft upper panel.
I'm now working on the windows and windshield.
My panel is designed to be removable and the engine controls panel is
mounted to a fiberglass 'console' that's bolted to the tunnel. I did not
attach the engine control cables to the subpanel bracket .... in fact, I
removed the bracket. Seems like I can't resist doing things contrary to the
plans. :-P Linn

Subject: | Re: Removable Instrument Panel (was "Engine installation sequencing") |
Carlos, pictures don't show anything but connectors hanging in the air.
All the wiring to the instrument panel goes through connectors on the
left side. Antenna cables go direct but have an extra foot of 'slack' to
move the panel back for access. The pitot/static/AOA tubes go through
quick-connects .... from Home Depot. I did have to grind down the
panel where the hand-holds are to clear the rivet tails .... I can't
drop the panel down because it rests on a console.
As for your question about the upper fwd fuse section, it slips in
really easily and you can cleco everything down. The rivets on the side
next to the firewall will become CherryMax. I also did my engine
installation with it off so have CherryMax rivets in the upper
firewall. I also put the Aircraft Spruce firewall blanket on the inside
.... one 4' in front of the pedals and a 2' up top. After I took this pic.
The red fuel selector is Van's selector embedded in flox.
Linn ..... windows/windshield.

Subject: | Removable Instrument Panel (was "Engine installation sequencing") |
Thank you Linn
So, every single wire that goes to the panel has a connector. That triggers
a new question:
What was your criteria to group those wires that have a single function,
like for example a switch or an annunciator light wire? Did you use 1-wire
connectors?
(The picture would be, anyway, good to see that .. :))

Look at 5/24/10 in the finish kit section.
12/29/11 in the panel section
You can see that the upper fuselage is just cleco'd in. All you have to do is
slightly tilt it to get it out.

Subject: | Re: Engine installation sequencing |
I built per the plans. The ONLY time I've really been on my back and cussing was
when I had to remove my parking brake valve.
Otherwise, it takes me three minutes to remove an EFIS screen and have access to
my sub panel and wiring and if that isn't enough, it takes me 6 minutes to remove
the entire side of my instrument panel and have access to basically everything
on that side. Having an Instrument panel that is one solid assembly across
the cockpit looks cool, but having it segmented into removable sections is
sure nice for assembly, inspection, and maintenance.
One thing a thought really hard about doing was removable eyebrow panels on the
outside in front of the windscreen like Socata does. In the end, I'm glad I
didn't because it hasn't really proven necessary.
