Likewise with my 601XL, I found that as I progress, the photo assembly guide is less detail intensive and seems to make the assumption that since I have finished the empenage and the wings, I require less step-by-step, hold-my-hand instructions.
The tail was very simple and progressed rapidly. The wings were more demanding but still fairly straight forward and allowed things to be rivetted together and continue to progress rapidly. With the fuselage, the progress seems much slower and the process is more demanding and complex. As an example, I have been working in the cabin area of the fuselage for several weeks now and I am not close to finishing that area yet.
I suspect that is the reason for building the kit in tail, wings, then fuselage order and I recomend doing it that way.

I don't know about the 701 but as far as the 601 is concerned the manual makes some assumptions that you have learned a particular task that was shown in the wings section of the manual when you get to the fuselage.
In my case I had learned some of those tasks and then had a real hard time transferring that knowledge to the fuselage.

It shows that the mating of the front to the rear fuselage, you set everything in accordance to your front and rear spar spacing from your existing wings. I suppose that you can set your spar spacing from your existing fuselage. I just never have been this far in the construction, little lone, here John is farther on his third plane than I have ever been on my first, but I like the idea of having something substantial to show for your efforts, that friends and family can see, and actually "sit in" while I make the engine noises. They can't make noises, because I don't have a "Multi-engine rating" yet.
