It looks like Vans has helped make up my mind as whether to go with a QB
kit or a slowbuild. As of now, all the fuselage components will be
match drilled instead of just the skins...that'll mean a few extra
dollars available for the fancy EFIS.

As a 7-A builder of a slow built fuselage I can tell you that the bucks
charged for the QB is more than worth the money. I did QB wings and SB Fuse
and will never ever ever build the SB again. Just MHO.

so you don't think the fuselage being matched hole now will save the 40%
build time that Vans is projecting ??

The kit improvements are great & Van's time saving projections are
believable, I guess. But, QB's are still money well spent, IMO. If you can
swing the extra cost for the QB, and the compressed timeline to buy the
other high-dollar stuff like engine and avionics, do it.

I'm going SB. I'm sure my opinion doesn't count for
much. I've only completed the empennage and have one
wing drilled, and one tank almost done. Sure it's a
pain the rear sometimes, but I am really enjoying the
blah blah blah... And that whole "money now" thing
doesn't help any either.
Honestly, I'm quite amazed at the leaps and bounds
avionics have made since I started researching
homebuilts.
I for one am quite thrilled about the matched hole
setup and look forward to the time savings.
Will be flying one day........
