The Murphy Builders Site

Hello!

I builded my Rebel as per manual plus the Ontario mods.... The only chapter, not done yet, is the one who we put the wings on the fuselage... no space.
I will start the doors as the last chapter who can be done at home...

What should be next? Could you make some suggestion in which order those should be done:

-firewall forward
-electrical
-interior
-dash
-put the wings on the fuselage, fit control, make fairings
-paint

anything else!!! Those homework that are include in the 90% to be done...

I am proud of the amount of work already done but there is still a lot to do!

Hi Jean

I'd agree with Ken. Do as much as you can while it's close by. Install the

controls as far as you can without the wings, and I'd do as much wiring as

you can behind the panel before you install it, Lying on your back and

working in the dark is not much fun :-)

Hi Jean



Since you have the engine I'd do firewall forward.



Or you can put in the elevator controls and part of the aileron

linkages. Some of us made the control torque tube removable to make it

easier to lie on the floor and work behind the panel at a later date if

needed.



Recommend installing instruments and wiring on the dash before you rivet

it in.



Stabilizer fairings can be done anytime.



I'd wire before upholstery but I'd install the engine before wiring...



Definitely do everything you can before you move it away from home

because that really slows things down. I'm always missing a tool or

something when I work at the airport.

Hello Ken / Nigel

To late for the dash, already riveted, but it is ok. Thanks for the help. I
will make the doors as per manual, and probably start firewall forward after
that.
