For those of you who have built a slider (mine is an RV-7), I have a question..
Can i delay riveting the forward top fuselage skin until the last minute? Specifically, can I fit the windscreen and canopy with the forward top skin in clekos? I know I won't be able to permanently install the windscreen or glass the windscreen fairing, but can I fit the sliding part of the canopy and all that stuff aft before riveting the final skin?
Reason being I'd really like to delay commuting to avionics until the VERY last moment possible...
thanks
Ivan
