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.

Subject: Fuselage before 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???
