Aren’t we all..
Quick question, which might be better for someone at Kitfox but I’ll ask anyway. How much honest work is left to finish on the QB wings if also rigged to the Fuse already? (Besides the obvious tank wiring and flap install)
Re: STI Builders?
I think there is still quite a bit of work from what I can figure out. Waiting to verify with Kitfox because I can’t seem to find the sti instructions.
Re: STI Builders?
Off the top of my head: lift strut attachments, butt rib, trailing edge, leading edge, pitot, varnishing all ribs, wing tips. And like you said, tanks, wiring.

Re: STI Builders?
I have standard wings, QB, pre-rigged. I also had some additional work done at the factory to facilitate building in a 1-car garage. I did my right wing in 59 hours, and my left in 52. There is actually more work to do on the left, but the second one goes faster. It's hard to estimate how many hours of additional work was done by the factory, but I would guess it was worth 15-20 hours of my time. So, 65-70 hours per wing is probably a ballpark estimate. If you want specific tasks to complete, the manual is online.

Re: STI Builders?
Fair enough, has anybody done the Chromoly Streamline Wing Lift Struts? I cant seem to find much information on them. Sorry if the laundry list of random questions is out of place, I am new to all this and trying to visualize before finishing my final order next week
