Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep that in mind for the inspection. I have two more stickers I can slap on in case it's a problem.

The top panel access has been something I've considered. I just really dislike installing those floating anchor nuts.

Chris, looks good.  I can remember back when I was at your stage in building.  Except for the canopy, the tough stuff is all behind you.  It's all details from here on out.  One comment on your experimental placard, assuming this is your intended permanent location.  Your FAA/DER inspector could say that it might be blocked by baggage and not visible to the passenger.  Just food for thought.

 

I see you have not yet attached your forward top panel.  I screwed the whole thing down through floating nut plates.  Going on my fourth year of operation, I would have it no other way.  I open it up once a year for inspection and to service the brakes.  It is much better than the windows I have seen people use that only allow limited access.  Also, I love my Jabiru and think you will too.
