I'm about to confront this task.
And I have considered with trepidation putting the (tri) gear in with the
top on.
Europa says that without the top on the fuse is insufficiently rigid to set
up the wings properly. They do say that you can cleco the top on. Any
comments? What have others done?

Yes but also put a straight edge along the RH trailing edge of the fin.
That needs to be straight.
BTW Don't glue the top on until everything is in, elevator deflections
set up flaps and wings set up too. Those jobs are awful with the top on.
If its a tri I would put the gear in too, but that's just my opinion.
