I'm building a 9A in my half of the garage. Empennage is done. An IA/ repeat builder suggested I build the fuselage before the wings. The reason was there's so much more to do on the fuselage and the wings don't take that long. Why build wings and have them sit around for 5 years... I called Vans to ask if there were any problems with building out of sequence. The answer was no, except the center section and longerons would have to be shipped with fuse kit instead of wings kit. I understand why the longerons normally ship with the wings, but why does the center section normally ship with the wing kit? Also, do any of you know of things I might need to be aware of when building out of sequence?
