A follow up:
For those of you still teetering between QB and regular build, my 4-week old impressions of the QB Wings are: some things are done too completely, an example being that some of my holes have been riveted shut that I was supposed to use for templating; and some other things are done as they should be, but like Indran said, makes access very difficult at times. Definitely install all you can before closing the wings up. With access being the main complaint (not really), I still smile every time I think about not having to do the mundane repetition of 30-something wing ribs, gallons of proseal for the tanks, etc. But get a hold of the plans and read them, there’s still plenty of wealth to go around for those tasks as well here in QB land.
I’d be farther along with the wings but I had to take some days, read the plans multiple times, let the enormity sink in, and mostly, think almost abstractly because I couldn’t just go step 1 – 50, Section A-Z like the emp kit. You really gotta try to understand what’s left and make your own order up. The last thing I want is a small but significant pile of parts left at the end of the build! It does feel good to begin to have a flow to building again, though.

Try grinding the VA-196 down a little, so that it rotates freely when the nut is torqued

Subject: Stall Vane
I’m assembling the stall vane assembly, and the instructions say not to torque so much that the vane can’t rotate freely. In order for my vane to rotate freely, the screw/nut that holds it in place also rotates freely. Yes, the screw is engaged in the self-locking plastic of the nut, so I consider the nut locked. However, if I tighten the nut just enough that the screw won’t rotate, the vane won’t either. So, I can’t even tighten the nut snugly, much less to any torque value. I figure if I leave it the way it is it’ll allow the screw to spin and eventually wear something through, most likely the aluminum mount plate. Any tips?
