Once the cockpit module is bonded in the front part of the tub is very 
stiff. It's worth clecoing the top on to maintain the straightness of 
the aft half but it makes a lot of sense to leave the top off when 
working in the tub. Makes it possible to do many of the jobs properly, 
like setting up and adjusting the elevator travel and trim tab 
connection, almost impossible with the top on!
