Finishing kit question

[vinzer]

Would you mind sharing what is your ETA for crate date ?
I am planning to order my finishing kit with in next 1-2 weeks.

So far I just have a confirmation of my order with deletions. I’ll let you know when they give me a crating date. I know that just a couple weeks ago I looked and it was showing that the finish kit was 8 months out and I decided to order and it jumped to 10 months out. Hopefully it will be shipped before then but I don’t guess I should count on it. If you’re planning on ordering in 2 weeks I would go ahead and do it now.

Thank you Lester.
I think I will place my deposit on Tuesday. 8 to 10 month in couple of weeks means 2021 which is looong wait.

I ordered the Finishing and Firewall Forward kits October 30, 2020. The initial Shipping Date was February 1, 2021, but shortly afterwards that was changed to a Crating Date. About the third week in January the Crating Date was delayed due to workers testing positive for COVID-19. In mid-February I was told I had a crating date (but I was not told what it was) and that “crating takes 4-6 weeks before shipping”. I received a shipping Bill of Lading on March 4, 2021 and finally received the crate on April 1, 2021.

Five months from ordering to receiving my crate. Oh, and about a week after the crate shipped, I received a packing list in the mail. It listed the items which were back-ordered, including the engine mount and the landing gear. When I called to lodge my complaint about the lack of communication the reply was, “the vendors are wielding as fast as they can” and their next scheduled shipment should arrive April 28, 2021. So, maybe I’ll get those parts sometime in May.

Speaking of Deletions, I'd love to get y'alls opinion on this thread here: https://vansairforce.net/community/s...d.php?t=215233

Not a 10 but personally, I wish I had deleted all the hoses. None of them fit and I can't find anyone who wants to buy them. Even at Vans deletion cost, I lost.
TS Flightlines custom made all my hoses.

The Vans FWF hoses now come from TS for the RV-10. No need to delete these. I received my FWF kit a few months ago.
