Is the Cruzer fuselage the same as the STOL fuselage? Everything I can find says it is.  I am building g a 750 STOL and have found a Cruzer fuselage kit that the owner cannot complete.  With the long lead times from the factory this might speed things up for me.

It's not, or at least the tail isn't.

The baggage area back seems to be interchangeable with my 750 STOL even though there is a different elevator, horizontal stabilizer, and rudder.  The panel is different and the steel cabin frame would be different, but with the right price it might be easy enough to have the cabin frame modified or buy the different parts from Zenith with less lead time.  My fuselage kit was bought late enough that it has some Cruzer features that are not in my plans, but are a benefit or improvement.  I also had a few extra holes in the fuselage that are for Cruzer tail pieces that I had to fill with rivets.  It is definitely worth consulting Zenith about the differences.   I actually had to get some Cruzer plan sheets to supplement my original drawings.
