Philjac,
The pipe won't fit in through the engine hatch. You have to go in through the canopy opening. You have to take this into account when you locate everything (fuel tanks, air tanks, etc.) so you don't trap it in permanently. In any case, once everything is assembled it takes some effort to get it back out. Fortunately, it also slides well rearward (out the back) to allow plenty of access to the engine and other components in that area, without removing it completely.

Am having trouble fitting the tail pipe. Although only spent 3 mins on it as had to go to work.
Looks to be tight through the hatch to the extent that if forced will crease the pipe or damage the hatch frame. Is everyone else sharing this problem.
First thought is to modify the rear pipe former to allow the forward section of the pipe to pass then fit a new rear pipe former to the modified rear former opening.
