I visited an RV-8A (powered by Subaru) under construction and the 2
builders told me the tail section manual was more detailed than the
rest of the plane instruction. That seems a little weak/devious since
most people build the tail and use that as a measure of what the rest
of the kit difficulty will be like.

Either that or since the tail is the first thing built, it needs to be more
explicit about things that later sections can assume you've already
figured out in the tail.
