Guys,
I received my quick build kit delivered today. It gives me a real appreciation of those doing slow build. It is hard to believe the amount of work in the fuselage section until you see the amount of parts/pieces and rivets. The quality looks very good. It should save at least one to two years off the build time. Looking at it I got the same overwhelmed feeling the day the empennage kit and tools arrived. I guess the old saying of "How do you eat an elephant?" is true. One bite at a time. I have maybe two weeks left on the rest of the empennage, except for the attachment that I will do later. My 3 car garage is getting very small.

Dave,
Glad to hear you have received your quickbuild - that's great progress! I just want to reply to your estimated time for a slow build fuselage, though, so as not to mislead anyone. I looked at my logbook and I have less than 200hrs. to build the fuselage to the quickbuild level - right before mating it to the tail cone. That includes deburring, cleaning, painting with zinc chromate, and painting the final color coat on all pieces before assembly. So, there are a lot of parts, but they are very easy to assemble and it goes quickly. The fiberglass top is a different story - I spent more time on the top and doors than I did building the metal part of the fuselage.
