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!

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?

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 oxymo
ron 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 understa
nding 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.

Gail,

I really didn't have anyplans and was not one to document all the details w
ith photos when I was building.- It amounted to a little imagination-an
d-a trip or two to Home Depot.- I also put the whole assembly on caster
s so it could be rolled around the-hanger as needed.
