Default RV-12 Build Order
I am planning on building the RV-12 soon. I will start off with the Empennage/Tailcone kit. I want to order the Fuselage Kit second. Can anyone please tell me what parts for the fuselage kit are normally shipped with the Wing kit and need to be ordered separately to complete the Fuselage?

Very Respectfully

There are no fuselage parts shipped with the wing kit on an RV-12.

What the plans specify is that you do a fit check of 4 fuselage parts to parts on the wings while it is being built (that is why the wings are recommended to built before the fuselage...... you then already have the parts needed).

Some people just ignore that recommendation, and others order the wing parts in advance of receiving their wings.

The stub spars come to mind.

I built fuselage before the wings but I had the wing kit on hand. So, no problem.

I had no reason to do the fuse first, just decided that's what I would do. Maybe just wanted a cockpit to sit in and make airplane noises!
