#140083
 
After 9 months of research:

- Secure hangar at Dan Jones International Airport -- check
- Order RV-14 wing kit serial number 140083 -- check
- Pay Vansairforce dues -- check
- Wait 8 weeks

Glad to be here, I will need the help.

Welcome to VAF! We're all glad you're here and you're in the right place for help. This is a great resource. Better to ask questions than order new parts (but you'll do that some too. I just received a new FL-1005-L flap rib today ;))

wing kit 14073 has arrived and has been uncrated. Inventorying this week.

I had 3 people help move the crates off the truck. It was nice and uneventful with 4 people. Semi backed up about half way up the driveway.

cheers

There's a new pair of -14 wings in Sandersville, Ga. at Ray Lawrence's builder assist hangar. I seem to remember the serial # as 69 but maybe not.

Best,

The only thing the driver did was to move the crated to the end of the truck. I had enough help so the driver really did not need to do anything (so I don't know if he would have helped if I asked). The truck did have a lift gate, but we did not use it. The lift gate is not useful for the long box with wing spars. The kit was delivered in a semi, but they would have brought it in a 24 ft truck if I really wanted them to.

I think that I could have done it with two people as long as you have a dolly to roll the crates on. One crate was 180 lbs the other was 220 lbs. The one with the skins is pretty big and akward.

Thanks for the info.

Wing Set On Order
 
Well after much contemplating, I was going to wait for the tail, but they are going to fill all tail orders to those already having wings, so with almost 100 wings ordered, it may be a while until I get the tail. So I decided to jump all in. I would like to thank everyone who contributes on the forums and also to those builders that have websites to post their progress. I have been watching the builds. Now the waiting, then the marathon.:D
