  Curtis Krouse asked if you could finish the wings before moving on to
the vertical stab and perhaps avoid a few flips of the airplane.  That is
what I did and it was supported by a tech rep.    A very big must do as far as I am concerned is to finish the bottom of
the fuse completely before flipping becomes difficult or impossible without
taking something you don't want to apart.  You should/must fill and sand
(repeated) and prime the bottom stub wing area before you get to the point
you don't want to flip it over any more.  I cannot imagine what it would be
like to try to finish the bottom with the plane upright.
