It looks to me that once the rudder pedals are installed and the rudder cables are routed and cut to length, the floorboards and rudder pedals then need to come back out for covering and painting, correct? It looks like I won't be able to wrap the fabric around the forward tubes if the pedals and floor boards are installed. I know the fabric doesn't come all the way forward, but I think the installed floorboards would hinder covering.

Also, any thoughts on where to mount the com antenna? I know there is a plate welded to the frame behind the aft window, but the previous builder of my kit had the antenna mounted on the bottom of the plane on one of those two plates welded to the bottom. I think it looks better on the bottom, but I'm just worried about the antenna hitting something should I ever do some back country flying.

THanks...
