Thought I'd follow up on this thread I started about 3 weeks ago.

 

Earlier this week I ordered the QB fuse before the wings.  No issue from

Vans.  It did require purchasing the $1,300 Wing Center Section.  But

they're crediting it back to me when I purchase the QB wings.

 

No big deal at all.  It was easy.

Brian: Did Vans work with you on the center wing carry through???

 

Thanks,

That's the route I took and for nearly the same reason.  It seemed like

I'd be done with the QB wings before I had time to save up for the

fuselage kit.  On the other hand, there's lots of stuff to keep you busy

in the fuse kit while you save up for QB wings.

Can anyone see a reason why I couldn't complete the fuse kit before the

wings?



 



 I was planning on going with the wings next but with the economic

uncertainty ahead of us, I'm thinking a fuse kit might be a better

option.



 



If I purchase QB wings, I would probably be ready for the fuse purchase

in a few months.  If I bought a fuse, I could keep busy for a longer

period of time (On meaningful projects) while the economy has more time

to recover.  I could:



    1) Finish the fuse kit.



    2) Join it to the tail cone.



    3) Fit the canopy area.



    4) Run systems for fuel, static, control systems, etc.



    5) Run wiring



    6) Setup ELT's, etc, etc, etc.



 



The more I think about it, the more I think a fuse kit makes better

sense at this time.  Especially if you're wanting to burn time on

meaningful tasks, instead of burning time waiting for the economy to

recover while your completed wings sit in the cradle.



 



Thoughts on doing a fuse kit before the wings???

I am doing the fuselage first and it has worked out fine so far.



One of my concerns was simply storing the wings during the much longer fuselage build, and dealing with spiders, rodents, moisture, et-cetera.
