I am working through the builders manual to identify which items are done and which need to be completed. Has anyone invented this wheel yet? Can anyone point me to a checklist of items that remain to be done on the QB fuselage?

Baggage compartment on the left and fuel/cables on the right. Of course with more work you could put it anywhere you want. The easy spot, between the ruder peddles.

I don't have a clear checklist, but I can tell you that everything before the part where you run the rudder cables seems to be done, IIRC. My book is in the shop or I would give you a quick rundown. It is kind of strange that they don't bother noting what is already done with the QB. I didn't find it too tricky to figure out, but it took time. I'd also love to see an index for the part numbers referenced in the text. A bit of advice - be careful when you drill the holes to mount the HS! -- Mickey Coggins http://www.rv8.ch/ #82007 QB Wings/Fuselage ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 11:28:02 AM PST US From: "Stephen J. Soule" Subject: RE: RV8-List: QB fuselage items to complete --> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" Mickey, Thanks for the information. I checked with Van's before contacting the List. I was told that they had no checklist of work left to complete, either. It is a bit tedious working through the manual and checking each item off, but I suppose that it orients the builder to the machine!

My thinking is that for starters I'm using a simple deflector to spread the heat out, and after some time in the air I can get to it easy enough inside to add defroster and/or directed heat runs.
