Default Do you mount your ARTF's engine first?

Hi all

Sorry if this gripe has been aired before but why on earth do ARTF instructions almost always tell the assembler to attach the stab, fin and u/c BEFORE the engine.
All experienced modelers realize that they just get in the way and can easily be damaged during engine installation. I always ignore this and mount the engine first. Of course I then remove the engine as the extra weight also hampers construction.
