I bought my QB from a previous builder. I started at the beginning of the manual and checked off what was done by the factory, what items were done by the previous builder and what things I wanted to redo.
I would write on the aluminum the part number as it gets a little confusing sometime when the manual keeps referring to C-666 and you have to keep checking back to find out what part they are talking about.
Eventually it starts making sense and a picture develops of what you are to do next.
I followed the chapters as outlined in the manual although I've seen others do things in a different order. ie. I did the canopy before any engine and FWF stuff.
Hope this helps,
Darren
