Trim upper baggage area bulkhead panel to allow for weather strip to seal overhead console.

Apply self adhesive 1/8 x 3/8 weather strip to F-1006 along console flange.

Position cabin top in fuselage with approximately 1 inch clearance on the bottom deck.

Lay out specified hardwar for cabin top install.

Lower the cabin top into position on the fuselage deck, squeezing out epoxy mix thus forming a complete bonding filler on the bottom door channel.

Tighten each screw and nut until just snug, noting any door channel deformation. Adjust tightness to alleviate any deformations.

Apply epoxy mix between fuselage decks and door channels, using syringe.

Comments on this section: You really need a few people to make this go really smooth. Kyle and I used slow set epoxy and it was JUST enough time to allow hardware installation, tighting, filleting, and cleanup before the epoxy set. I have to say that this section was one of the more challenging ones, thus far. I am happy that the cabin top is now a permanent part of the fuselage.

IT LOOKS LIKE AN AIRPLANE!!!!!!
