[rebel-builders] What's next? ..Super Rebel construction ord

[Ted Waltman]

I'd suggest running the elev/rud cables w/ extra cable length to spar and
NOT installing h-stab/elev until you can leave them installed. They are a
PITA to put into place and another PITA to fit the bolts in the
hinge/brackets.

Likewise, I'd fit the fairing once. But, I'll post pics/send you pics of
how I cut my dorsal fin fairing so you don't have to take off the entire
thing at every condition inspection. No reason you can't do the dorsal fin,
whether you leave it as one entire piece or cut it as I did, later when you
have the h-stab/elev on for good.

You can run the fuel lines as described below.

Start on electronics as per below.

That's my 2 cents...

Ted

Ok Guys,

I have a question about construction order...

I have my rudder pedals installed, control column and sticks installed,
aileron cables run up to roof and attached, my two aileron torque tobes are
installed in the roof and the links from the horns to the aileron slider
assembly are in. Floor has been drilled as well as seat rails, seats are
built, doors etc built.

I'm space constrained right now with just enough space to TEMPORARILY
install the rudder and the stal-elevator.

Where should I go now?

I'm thinking I will proceed as follows:

1) Run rudder cables
2) Run elevator cables
3) Install stabilizer and elevator and fit fiberglass fairing, but I'll then
have to remove it all due to space issues in my garage
4) Run brake lines to base of gear legs (can't install gear legs because my
garage isn't high enough)
5) Run as much of the fuel system in the floor and side as possible until I
can fit the wings.
6) Start on the electrics and panel

Just looking for any feedback. I wanted to make sure I don't install
something and then run into an access issue later. Anyone have an thoughts?

Thanks, -Jason
