Wing Kit #105

I talked to Van's Kit Delivery Dept yesterday to see if my wing kit #105 was going to be shipped this week as my original paperwork stated. The answer is no! Van's is still having trouble getting the spars from their outside vendor. The Kit Delivery Dept indicated that my kit shipping date would be 1 to 2 weeks later than my previous paperwork indicated. N712BK reserved but nothing to paint it on. Bummer, now I am going to have to cut down on my caffine also! Bob Kibby N722BK Discus-2T sailplane, N712BK RV-12 in waiting.
 
Wings time frame

Just for everyones info I ordered my kit Yesterday and I have been told 8 Weeks.

Wing Kit #105 delivery anticipated

Paper work received today from Van's says that my wing kit #105 was shipped via motor freight on 9/5/08. I also got a call today from ABF Shipping that says that they will deliver my wing kit to my Arlington, Texas address on 9/12/08. The shipping paper work also says that the weight of the shipped kit is 357 lbs. The call from ABF shippping also said that I need a helper to unload the wing kit/s. I think that the wing kit is packed in two boxes, so a word to the wise would be to get someone to help you unload and store the wing kit.

Good timing because our soaring weather has turned to mush in the DFW area.

I think my wing kit is number 140.

Expect at least 8 Weeks before avail for delivery to AUS. Still trying to think how Im getting it to Australia.

Cheers,

Wing Kit # 119

ABF called today and said that I could pick up my wing kit on Tuesday morning, Sept 30. I'm having it held at the Paducah KY terminal and saved almost $100 in the process.

Things are starting to get exciting!!!
