Attach the seatback to the upper cockpit frame using the flange on the seat. You should be able to move the
bottom slightly to get it into position. Attach the rear cockpit bulkhead in position on top of the seat flange
(

). You can attach the shoulder belts at this time, or later in the build.
Although not shown in the instructions, attach the instrument panel(s) 11mm back from the cockpit frame
front. Test fit your completed cockpit in the fuselage.
Fuselage Assembly
Fuselage assembly is covered on page 7/8 of the instructions.
Prior to assembling the fuselage, I drilled out an additional hole on each side of the wing root to allow the
metal rod on the lower wing to fit into the fuselage (

Test fit the windscreen to the fuselage, and trim the fuselage attachment area as needed to ensure optimal fit
(namely the pointed area where the rear of the windscreen fits)
If needed, cut and remove the section of the tail wheel fairing as indicated for the Swedish version.
Attach the fuselage frames (labeled "A", "B" and "C") into position as indicated (
