Dennis - I wondered about this also. I am doing this in the order the book
suggested. Once you put the landing gear on its going to be much further off
the ground making getting at the wiring difficult. Also right now I am
working on the canopy and I am glad its no higher. I still have a chair each
side to jump up on to see how the glass is positioned wrt the role bar. The
engine frame ....no problem.

A question of those folks further along. I have just received my finishing
kit and finishing up the prep on the forward cabin parts. By the sequence
called out in the instructions I should next start working on the canopy. I
would
like to finish as much wiring and plumbing as possible before closing up the
top of the fuselage. Would it be a mistake to install the engine mount,
engine and landing gear before the canopy?
What have others done?

There is another RV-9A being built here in Yuma and he has left his side
skins off well past the point where I had riveted mine on. Made wiring very
easy as well as other interior work. I tipped my fuse upside down and did
most of the wheel pant and gear leg fairing work while it was still at home.
After suffering the aggravation of working at the airport- especially with
fiberglass - I wish I had done all of it at home.

I'm using a handheld - an ipaq running ControlVision's AnywhereMap.
This other builder is using a KMD150 in the panel. He's also using a Navaid
and we both installed the switch so you can drive the Navaid in course
tracking mode with either the GPS output or the VOR steering signals from
the CDI. Seems to work very well - although I have only flown in fairly
smooth air so far.
