Greetings,
I'm closing in on completing the tail kit for our -10 and am getting ready to order the next subkit?
I was planning on getting the wings (all slo-build) but now am leaning towards to fuse kit.
Any suggestions on which would be better?

G'day,
As someone who is mid-way through the wings I have only one thought to
offer; the spar centre section, which the fuse is built around, comes
with the wing kit.

There are some trade-offs. The wings are just plain BORING! And then you
have to do 2 of everything! There's nothing too complicated in the
wings, and the fact that you build 2 of everything gives you some
'experience' to leverage the second part. The Tanks and the ProSeal are
messy (REALLY MESSY) but pay me now or pay me later if your going Slo-build
On the other hand, the fuse plans are not as clearly written, and as
others have mentioned they assume you know that you should match drill,
deburr, and dimple parts, and they don't explicitly call out all of
these steps all of the time. The Fuse plans appear to hve been written
by different authors for different sections, some adaptation to their
style/language is required. The Fuse is more Fun IMO, because it
constantly 'grows' and you get some positive feedback as you complete
sections and steps.
On the other hand, by the time you get to the Fuse you should have your
riveting skills pretty well honed. coming off of the Empenage, I felt
good about my riveting, but after completing the Wings, I felt much
better. There are a fair # of AN470-4 rivets in the Fuse and you need to
be/get comfortable with these.
The Center Section of the wing spar is critical to the Fuse build, I
don't know if they would ship you just the center section (as these are
matched with the wing spars). Or if they would require you to purchase
the entire wing spar kit w/ the Fuse.
When you get to the Fuse you start to have to begin to make several
decisions, engine type, cowl, electrical system, prop, panel and
contents, seats, etc. Many of these decisions carry some healthy price
tags with them. If you want to delay the $ outlay that would favor
building the wings 1st. As the decisions that accompany them are
'relatively' minor.
Just my thoughts I'm sure there are other views as well.

If you want to build the fuselage next, you willl need the center spar
section that comes with the wing kit. The center spar section is match
drilled to the wing spars so they ship it with the wing kit.
If you really want to do the fuse next, I think you'll need to buy both
the wing and fuse kit so you have the necessary center spar parts available.

They'll poll the Ctr sec. and ship it out to the
islands to build the fuse around. or you Can ship
it black to them.
I for one am REALLY glad I had a QB fuse, but didn't mind
the wings a bit.

If you want to build the fuse first, then you will have to buy the wings anyway. One of the first (if not the first) on the fuse is the wing spar center sections. Without the wing kit, the fuse will just take up space in your garage. Even if you buy both kits, I would recommend building the wings first.

That is probably the main reason to go with the wings. You won't get too far into the fuselage kit before you need those spars. Also the manual changes drastically by the fuse kit, they are no longer "holding your hand" and you will be doing a lot of head scratching without the experience from the wing kit.

Just my $.02. I am just about to finish the ailerons. My skills have gotten much better building the wings, and a would not want to have a finished fuse sitting waiting for wings.
Also am building both wings at once, this has cut the time due to economy of scale on setups.
