Looks like the process has holes. I' better call Vans. I've been flying since March and sent in the PAP, but no indication of a kit.

My kit arrived today. Only the wing seal is back ordered. I've been ready to install the landing gear for about a month, so not a bad wait.
Installation starts tomorrow.

I'm on Santa Van's nice list I guess

I've had my engine kit for a year, and the fuse/finish kit for about two years...Kit #332.

Totally un-announced, Fedex delivered my SB kit today, and, as with others, its missing the seal--but since I haven't installed the original, I guess I'm in good shape. Thanks go to Don for the rescue offer.

Got an email from Vans today telling me my SB kit will ship soon. Counting myself lucky that I haven't put the gear on yet. Just have to drill out all those rivets. Having just completed the wiring for SkyView, on a kit designed for D180, I'm used to de-constructing as much as constructing :-)

UK shipping
It seems my kit made it to the UK. I don't get it delivered though until I pay $40 Value Added Tax. I though it was me that would provide the value-added!

I hear mine is on the way. The timing interestingly pretty much coincides with my stage of the build!

Van's Caught Up?
I got a call from Van's today that my fuselage kit will ready to pick up next week. I ordered it about seven week ago. Does this mean that they are all caught up on the upgrade kits?
