Matt That is my plan as well. I will have done everything I can to the fuselage prior to mounting the wings and gear. They will get in the way of the vast amount of work to be done in and around the cockpit. I am only a first time RV-7 builder so maybe there is something I don't know that Vans knows=2C b ut so far see no really good reason to have to put them on=2C then take the m off and put them on again later. Too much extra work for now real gain i n the construction process that I can see. A good friend of mine used this method on his RV-6 and it worked great. He did everything at home in his ga rage so didn't need the wide space until he moved the project to a hangar =2C then put the wings on one time only. Bill Schoen South Fork Co.

From: JOHN STIEGELMEYER If you have QB wings there isn't much to do. Fabricate and install the bell cranks - Fabricate the push/pull tubes, install landing/taxi lights, install nav/strobes in wing tips and install wing tips. Don't forget the wiring for these items. And the pitot tube and wiring if heated. Flob tube for fuel if needed. Can't think of anything else. Read the manual thru to make sure you understand the whole process. I built an RV-7A QB - not much guidence for this so read read read. Regards, John On 7/2/09, Garey Wittich wrote: > > Greetings: Working by myself, the RV-8A QB Project is going too > "slooowly".
