Andrew,
I went ahead and followed the manual with this. Fitting the cockpit module
with clecoes (small bolts 1/16" or so work well for this -the flanges in the
module are thick in the front) insures it is in its final resting position,
level laterally with respect to the fuselage, and sucked up to the front. I
remember during the fitting process, the need to re-install the cockpit
module (to check clearances with controls etc) numerous times to verify all
is good, and appreciated having finalized the positioning. Only 2 - 4
attachment points were needed for me, two in front around the tunnel bottom
and maybe a few on the sides, rear-ward.
Hope that helps,
Greg

Is there a reason why chapter 11 (title: preparing the mouldings) calls for
drilling cleco'ing the CM to the fuselage? Is this step not done best just
before the bond?
