I took delivery over the weekend of my QB wings and fuselage for the RV-10. I'm still finishing up the tail, so I haven't unpacked everything yet, but the plans / instructions that I've found are the full set, as if I was doing the full build.
I know Van's has some QB specific instructions on their website for the RV-14, but I didn't see anything like that for the -10.
Briefly looking over the wings and especially the fuselage, it appears that some rivets are missing from rows that were done at the factory, or maybe that is intentional and I'm supposed to do them later.
When I wrap up the tail, hopefully by this weekend, is there any advice for how I start working on these QB sections? My gut tells me that I should simply walk through every single step in the manual and confirm that each thing has been done, assuming I can see the work and it isn't inside something else / blocked. I know Van's inspects the QBs before shipping, but I'm sure I should "Trust but verify".
Is there any other advice people have? Or am I on the right track by simply visually confirming that every single step has been accomplished before I start my tasks?
