REFLECTOR: order of assembly

[Al Gietzen]

Doug;

 

Generally more than one way to do things; but I'd recommend the top fuselage
be on before doing the upper strake.

I have an 80's era manual which says to install the lower strakes, then the
upper fuselage, then the upper strakes.  I think that now the fast build
kits from the factory come with the fuselage halves already joined, so the
order would be upper fuselage, lower strake, upper strake. But I saw on
somebody's website where they put the lower and upper strakes together
before they attached the upper fuselage. Does the order make much
difference? Can somebody make a case for one method over another?
