Hey Guys,

Great news. The RV-8 QB fuselage and wings arrived. So here's the question. The construction manual lists all of the individual steps, and the order in which they need to be completed. But that is for the standard build, not the quick build kit. Is there a published list of the steps that have already been completed in the QB kit, or do I need to go through the construction manual and figure out exactly which steps have already been done for me by the factory? I would hate to just start crossing construction steps off and then find out that some step that I thought had been done has, in fact not been done yet. Any thoughts?

Thanks, Chet

Congratulations, Chet.

  

 If I remember correctly, there is a spot in the construction manual that  says: Quick Builders start here.  It would probably be a good exercise to  go through all the steps in manual, look at how they were done and sort of  re-inspect the build.  I think that would give you a better working  knowledge of the structure.  It would then be obvious where they left  off.

  

 You are in for a really fun adventure.

  

 Regards,

In my circa 2001 8QB kit/manual, one had to go through the manual,

page by page, and check off what had or had not been done.  And be

creative in some areas!

Yep, that was my major complaint with the -8 QB kit.  "Special" QB instructions for the Fuse read "Start at the aft end and work forward"  Spent a lot of time combing through the standard plans.

My 2004 -8A QB instructions contained statement somewhere up front that no instructions changes were made to accommodate quick builders (QB - an oxymoron in my case – 3 year project going on for 6 years). I initially thought that was a Vans cop-out, but having to carefully peruse the plans and then determine what was already factory-done provided a pretty detailed understanding of the big picture process.  

   

Don’t get hung up on the order of construction tasks – especially after to get the emp, ailerons, flaps, and wings fitted.  I’ve also found that with the firewall forward and finishing kits, the instructions are advisory only; have to figure out design and fit stuff on your own.

Thanks everyone for your advice. Indeed there is a note in the fuselage section about starting at page 42 for QB. But I think I will go through items one by one to gain a better understanding.  Chet
