Just wondering if I should attach the horizontal and vertical or wait until the plane is closer to being finished.  Also should I wait for the fiberglass tips too.  I just finished my tailcone  and my wing is already here.  I would think Van's would put it off until the end if it was more convenient.

numerous ways to look at this.

What I did was "built" the vertical and horizontal but did not match drill 

the fiberglass parts. Now that I am at the finishing kit about to put the 

gear on, I went back and finished off the fiberglass pieces with the added 

experience of the canopy and doors.

With that said here are the ways to look at this

1) if you  have time waiting for the next kit and you're ready to do it, 

finish off all but riveting on the fiberglass.

2) If you have the next kit and are ready to keep going, come back to it 

later , if it's in a garage do it before raising the fusellage up on the 

gear

3) You can do it at the hangar when all is done and you are finishing up 

everything



As far as convenient, you need to decide how accessible everything is now- 

if you can readily work on the parts on a bench that would work, having it 

on the fusellage worked better for me, height wise, having it on the gear 

would have had it higher and been more difficult to reach as I did while it 

was lower, plus at the end of the build I didn't see wanting to have to get 

this done, one main reason is the fiberglass requires some work to make it 

fit the way I want it and waiting for flox, plys, etc to cure is not 

something I wanted to do at a airport that is 1 hour away from me.

I have seen and talked to numerous builders each did section 11 and 12  at 

different times, it really doesn't matter, do it when it's best for you.
