Oratex - What order did you install the fuselage panels?

That’s exactly right, Eddie.

Interesting.... Lars told me different and I never found that anywhere in the manual. I think this is his frustration. I was told if its touching it, glue it. Finishing tape is only for seams, rib stitching covering, and leading edge. To clarify he is not saying you don't need finishing tapes, but you don't use them the same way you do with the other fabric systems. There is not a need to cover all the fuselage tubes and ribs like you do with other fabrics. If you want to, you can, but its not needed.

Can anyone provide some close up images of their seams on the fuselage? And how you did the seam tapes? I'm currently debating if i do top/bottom then sides, or bottom-sides-top.
Doing the top last would make it easier to put in the static ports as I'm putting them near the tail, and leave ample time and room to complete wiring etc. However, I'm concerned about the looks of seams and tape.
