Roll the Canoe?

When is it OK to "roll the canoe". I have the firewall fitted, the main longerons clecoed to the Wd-603 bracks, and the auxiliary 713 longerons clecoed. The remaining items would be a lot easier to install with the fuselage right side up.

Thanks,

T.
 
Flip it any time you need to. Just make sure you have a good sturdy stand to put it on.
 
Keep the potential for rolling the fuselage as long as possible.

Time to install a flap position indicator roll right 90 degrees and have at it. Wiring through the wing spar roll R or L and wire away. Parking brake, fuel lines, control linkage, panel installation.......... same story.

If planning your fuselage rotisserie, keep it low to the floor, (but the fuselage steps need to clear the floor).
