 Posted: Fri Nov 30, 2007 2:49 pm Post subject: Looking for advice on Wing and Fuse Kit: QB or Standard |
 |
|
On Monday December 3 a buddy and I will each order the kits for the -9A, and
of course we must choose between the Quick Build and Standard.
We understand the principle of trading dollars for time, and both of us lean
towards saving time. But we wonder what additional items or things might we
want to do to the fuselage or wing, that would be difficult to do if
starting from the QB? For instance, I might want to extend the fuel tank 4
or 5 gals on each side, and that would be almost impossible to do with the
QB wing.
Or again, I am interested in using a combined pitot tube/angle-of-attack. Is
this much harder to install with a QB wing?
Also, how long have you taken building the Standard wing?
If this has been asked before just point me to the thread....

As far as the time, you can take about $8.00 an hour for Vans to build your
wing, which will take you alot more time because you don't do it every day.
As far as the quickbuild wings, you still have to rivet the lower outboard
skin which is where you pitot is. I have seen quite a few quick builds and
the quality is as good as you can do and most of the time better unless you
have quite a bit of experience. If money is not an issue, go with the
quickbuild. You can still install an additional tank with the botom skin off
but it might make it tougher.
