Default Professionally built?

Ok, this is where I get confused. I'm not a builder (yet). Don't the
plans or kit instructions tell you how to do all this? Do people
diverge that much from the plans, and if so, why?


On many if not most kits the FWF instructions is not as nearly as complete
as the airframe instructions/plans. One reason for this is simple, The kit
maker also has little to do with the engine used in a lot of planes. For
example in the Zenith 601XL there are people that have installed multiple
flavors of Conts & Lycs, and Rotaxs, Jabirus, Subaru's, Corvairs, Suzukis,
and even Harley Davidsons.
