And be creative in some areas! Dale On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 10:59 PM, cs@charlesstringham.com wrote: > > Hey Guys, > Great news. The RV-8 QB fuselage and wings arrived. So here's the question. The construction manual lists all of the individual steps, and the order in which they need to be completed. But that is for the standard build, not the quick 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? > Thanks, Chet > > ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:14:35 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV8-List: RV-8 QB Kit From: Tracy 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.

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. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:00:17 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV8-List: RV-8 QB Kit From: cs@charlesstringham.com VGhhbmtzIGV2ZXJ5b25lIGZvciB5b3VyIGFkdmljZS4gSW5kZWVkIHRoZXJlIGlzIGEgbm90ZSBp biB0aGUgZnVzZWxhZ2Ugc2VjdGlvbiBhYm91dCBzdGFydGluZyBhdCBwYWdlIDQyIGZvciBRQi4g QnV0IEkgdGhpbmsgSSB3aWxsIGdvIHRocm91Z2ggaXRlbXMgb25lIGJ5IG9uZSB0byBnYWluIGEg YmV0dGVyIHVuZGVyc3RhbmRpbmcuICBDaGV0IA0KU2VudCBmcm9tIG15IFZlcml6b24gV2lyZWxl c3MgQmxhY2tCZXJyeQ0KDQotLS0tLU9yaWdpbmFsIE1lc3NhZ2UtLS0tLQ0KRnJvbTogIlZhbG92 aWNoLCBQYXVsIiA8cHZhbG92aWNoQGRjc2NvcnAuY29tPg0KU2VuZGVyOiBvd25lci1ydjgtbGlz dC1zZXJ2ZXJAbWF0cm9uaWNzLmNvbQ0KRGF0ZTogTW9uLCAzMCBBdWcgMjAxMCAwOTo0MDo0OSAN ClRvOiBydjgtbGlzdEBtYXRyb25pY3MuY29tPHJ2OC1saXN0QG1hdHJvbmljcy5jb20+DQpSZXBs eS1UbzogcnY4LWxpc3RAbWF0cm9uaWNzLmNvbQ0KU3ViamVjdDogUmU6IFJWOC1MaXN0OiBSVi04 IFFCIEtpdA0KDQpNeSAyMDA0IC04QSBRQiBpbnN0cnVjdGlvbnMgY29udGFpbmVkIHN0YXRlbWVu dCBzb21ld2hlcmUgdXAgZnJvbnQgdGhhdCBubyBpbnN0cnVjdGlvbnMgY2hhbmdlcyB3ZXJlIG1h ZGUgdG8gYWNjb21tb2RhdGUgcXVpY2sgYnVpbGRlcnMgKFFCIC0gYW4gb3h5bW9yb24gaW4gbXkg Y2FzZSAtIDMgeWVhciBwcm9qZWN0IGdvaW5nIG9uIGZvciA2IHllYXJzKS4gSSBpbml0aWFsbHkg dGhvdWdodCB0aGF0IHdhcyBhIFZhbnMgY29wLW91dCwgYnV0IGhhdmluZyB0byBjYXJlZnVsbHkg cGVydXNlIHRoZSBwbGFucyBhbmQgdGhlbiBkZXRlcm1pbmUgd2hhdCB3YXMgYWxyZWFkeSBmYWN0 b3J5LWRvbmUgcHJvdmlkZWQgYSBwcmV0dHkgZGV0YWlsZWQgdW5kZXJzdGFuZGluZyBvZiB0aGUg YmlnIHBpY3R1cmUgcHJvY2Vzcy4NCg0KRG9uJ3QgZ2V0IGh1bmcgdXAgb24gdGhlIG9yZGVyIG9m IGNvbnN0cnVjdGlvbiB0YXNrcyAtIGVzcGVjaWFsbHkgYWZ0ZXIgdG8gZ2V0IHRoZSBlbXAsIGFp bGVyb25zLCBmbGFwcywgYW5kIHdpbmdzIGZpdHRlZC4gIEkndmUgYWxzbyBmb3VuZCB0aGF0IHdp dGggdGhlIGZpcmV3YWxsIGZvcndhcmQgYW5kIGZpbmlzaGluZyBraXRzLCB0aGUgaW5zdHJ1Y3Rp b25zIGFyZSBhZHZpc29yeSBvbmx5OyBoYXZlIHRvIGZpZ3VyZSBvdXQgZGVzaWduIGFuZCBmaXQg c3R1ZmYgb24geW91ciBvd24uDQoNCg0KDQoNCg0KDQoNCg= ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:05:13 AM PST US Subject: RV8-List: A Rotisserie From: cs@charlesstringham.com The next question: Shall I build a fuselage rotisserie or not?
