I have a QB fuselage and I will have it 100% completed - Engine mounted, fiberglass and paint done, wired etc before I even think about wings..
I can't remember why I chose this route but it's all the same at the end of the day, whichever way you choose!

Same here. Installed painted wings, fairings, connected controls, inspected, flew.

Thanks for the encouragement. One of VAF members PM'd me and invited me to see his mostly-completed RV-8. I spent the morning at his workshop where he showed me the basics of riveting and gave me a lot of advice. His plane was *beautiful* and it really inspired me to get started right away.

So, I just ordered the preview plans for the RV-8. I guess I need to get a tail wheel endorsement now. :-)
