REFLECTOR: order of assembly

[Douglas Holub]

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?
