I'm working on finding some suitable storage for the QB wings, so I was
wondering if someone could provide me with the dimensions (LxWxH)
including any protruding pieces.
What is the weight of one wing ?
I don't have much room so I expect I will leave the wings untouched
until the fuselage is far along that it needs to be moved to a hanger.
My plans are to do as mush as possible, including engine, all interior
work and the canopy in the garage.
Mating the wings up with the fuselage for match drilling is going to be
very difficult space wise so I really hope that it won't be necessary
at any point during the fuselage assembly. From the websites I have
found there seems to be a wide variety of approaches to this.
So, the question if it's possible to basically complete the QB fuselage
without having to attach the QB wings ?
Thanks
Kent

If you put your wings on a cradle like Van's specs out in one of the
drawings (used to be 12A back in the day of jigs), you can pretty much plan
on 10' x 3' floorspace for the cradled wings.
I don't know the exact weight of a wing, but I'd estimate 50-60 pounds.
Probably 30-35 pounds at the root, 15-20 at the tip, something like that.
Wing mating...if you don't have the space, don't worry about it. I don't
see any reason, other than the "whoa, this is way cool!" factor, to mate
your wings before you get to the hangar. It just shifts around when the
work gets done. Drilling for incidence/sweep, rigging the controls, flaps,
making fuel/vent tubes, etc. can all be done later.
We just had a discussion about this on another list
(RV7and7A@yahoogroups.com, I think) the other day, and we talked about
mating one wing at a time due to space limitations. Don't even bother.
Wait until you have all the space you need (presumably in a hangar) and then
do it right.
Best of luck,
