My 12iS finish kit just shipped, after ordering it about 14 months ago.
Can’t wait to get it on the gear.

Just about exactly 14 months from placing the order…

Ordered dual screen Dynon avionics 7-5-22 and scheduled delivery today. Steinair said the Dynon guys have jumped ahead of the Garmin orders since they are having supply issues.

The big dog at Garmin just reported at Sun N Fun that their supply issues are rapidly improving.

Anyone take delivery of an engine kit or Dynon avionics kit recently? Curious if the lead times in the chart are fairly accurate. I placed the order for my engine kit and am eagerly awaiting it. 9 months should be March/April. Thinking I could order the Dynon avionics and if they do deliver in 3-4 months, I could get that installed before the engine shows.

FWIW my Garmin avionics arrived a little early. My engine is a little late. Recommend you sign up with UPS to be notified of incoming packages. There was no warning from Steinair that a $30K box was about to be left on the front porch.

I found out the engine really needs to be in before you can run the wiring harness for everything else. I wish my engine had come before the avionics. The KAIs even show the engine stuff already installed in the avionics sections.

My engine kit is in crating...any day now!
I ordered my powerplant kit 12/1/2022

Update: powerplant kit shipped today! (8/25/2023 )

Picked up the wing and fuse kits in July. Expecting the finish kit just before Christmas.

Not a whole kit, but after under-countersinking VS-1202 and subsequently drilling out 7 of 9 of the under- countersunk rivets successfully, I ordered a new VS-1202 last week. Just got a response back today that that part is unavailable and there is no estimated lead time. Not surprising with the laser cut part situation they are currently dealing with. No worries though, I've got plenty of other things to work on. I also have gotten a lot better at countersinking .032 and am almost an expert at drilling out flush rivets!
