Which takes longer/more work to build on an Acro Sport II, wings or fuselage? (Just the fuselage up to the firewall - not including any of the effort to install the engine, cowling, etc.)

I've got a partially completed one - fuselage truss is built and "on the gear", ribs are built, lots of fittings are roughed out with a nibbler (maybe Wag Aero parts - I haven't looked in the box for a few years). :) It seems like the wings would go together fairly quickly, as long as I build it basic and resist the Smizo carbon fiber approach. Tail feathers also look non-intimidating. But it seems like it is going to be a lot of work to put all the tabs, formers, instrument panel, controls, etc on the fuselage.

Thanks!

Warren
