Just because a person chooses a fiberglass fuselage doesnt mean its a "completion". There is also no gaurantee that the wing and stab incidence is correct. They must still be checked. I know of more fiberglass fuse builds that require MORE work to build than a built up fuselage.
I have to agree. I did a build on my Yellow Aircraft P-47 and finished it last August. I could have built a Top Flight P-47 in less time! The fuselage came in two parts that had to be joined. I completely replaced the gear mounting pads in the wings, and made my own fiberglass gear doors. Don't tell me I didn't build it just because it started with a fiberglass shell!
The whole point in these fourms is to have a place to discuss common problems, ask and provide answers to questions, and to inform others of techniques we may be using. I don't give a darn what someone wants to call it, if you are building an ARF or building from plans, we can all learn something from how you might do it.
