Hello guys,

I have just received the final segment (wings & belly pan) for my Lancair
360 Super Fast Build Kit.
I have only completed the hort. stab construction. I am a little confused
(okay a lot confused) on the
proper or the best sequence for further construction. Do I do the belly pan
first, then finish attach
the hort. and vert. stab. If you could give me some insight on the best way
to proceed, I would really
appreciate it. Perhaps, you could just reference chapters in the order that
they should be completed.
I have completed chapter 7 (hort. stab construction).

Thanks,

[If you are going to install the hydraulic power pack on the baggage
bulkhead as per the manual, you might want to do that before installing the
belly pan... that way you can work back there with the fuselage up on
horses through the hole in the bottom.  If you're going to put the 
hydraulic power pack elsewhere, I would recommend that you go on with the
belly pan installation next.  This will give you the most to work on in one
fell swoop than just about any other step you might want to tackle, and
it's the most logical next step given the way everything else goes 
together.  With the wing center section installed you will have performed
the initial squaring of the wings to the fuselage and you will also have
a much larger structure to help with your leveling requirments as they
are needed.  My personal opinion is that you would be much better off
having the wing center section to level the fuselage with as opposed to
the longerons which may be a few degrees off.  This will make leveling 
the horizontal stab to the rest of the structure much easier as well.  This
is all IMHO, BTW, alternative viewpoints are welcomed.     <Marv>     ]
