Prior to bonding on top fuse, besides what is mentioned in manual to scuff sand,
figure we will scuff sand fin rib contact area and area that will get 2 BID,
sternpost and sternpost contact area, baggage bulkhead and baggage bulkhead 
contact
area and area that gets 2 BID, door sill area that will get 2 BID and balsa
for strengthening / wire conduit.

Not going to make a splash for mass balance tower or fin rib.

*Rudder cables, turnbuckles and guides installed.
*All antennas installed, wired and tested (except transponder).
*Pitch servo wired.
*Fuel system installed (914) and pumps wired.
*Tailwheel pad installed (mono) and steel outrigger to help support twisting 
forces
on mounting bolt.
*Fin rib has foam dug out for better bite upon bonding (then will get 2 BID from
rear).
*Aft Odyssey PC545 battery mount installed with CCA wire strain relief supports
on top clamp.
*Any ty wrap clips needed aft of baggage bulkhead installed.
*Any gaps larger than in lower fuse between bottom of joggle and where foam 
begins
is filled with PVC foam and 2 BID over)
*406Mhz ELT installed
*Mono undercarriage installed
*Airbrake lever and control horn installed.
*Ceiling installed and aft portion wired.
*Rollbar installed with attachments for shoulder harness x2.
*Filler cap receptical installed and area that cobra attaches has balsa and BID
reinforcement.
*Fuel tank has BID reinforcement in tunnel and bottom is filled with foam to 
help
support.
*Baggage ribs installed to fuse with splash on the tops.
*Two cameras, one in fin and one on aft ceiling mounted and wired. DVR mounted
on folding tray attached to baggage bulkhead to allow aft access.
* Will make holes to run pneumatic and wires to wings going down side of fuse 
prior
to top bond on.

Will rig wings with top permanent bonded on to remove any change that may occur,
will take hit having to rig flaps and rear lift pin crossbar with top on.

What did I miss?
Any negative comments?

Thx.
