He is concerned about how to do work? inside the cockpit, such as installation of the brake cylinders, installation of the dual sticks and the like.? Since I built from component kits, I can't help him much.? I would like to hear any suggestions from those that have done this kind of work on a quick build fuselage.

I did go with your access hatch plans for easy access to the space behind the panel which has been nice when I need to do a couple of things behind the panel. Now my 12 year old son who's pretty thing did help out in other areas like the rear fuselage :-) John Davis N601JD Burnsville, NC jaybannist@cs.com wrote: > To 601XL quick build kit builders, > > I have a friend that has a 601XL quick build kit.

Cleco the upper skin in place (if at all) until you are done behind the panel. H opefully you have slide out instrumentation -- and leave plenty of wire sla ck so you can do that. I made an access panel for the upper skin and canno t imagine not having it.
