Meanwhile my finishing kit is mostly done and I'd love to get started on my power plant. Yours is probably passing by my house on 99 some time today.

Default Picked up my tail/emp kit yesterday

Picked up my Tail Kit yesterday from the local ABF terminal- cost me $765 shipping to NY. Saved $216 by picking it up at their terminal. Ordered last May. At least now I have something to work on while waiting for my other kits to arrive. BTW, no damage to the outside of the crate opening it up tomorrow to check for any concealed damage and start the inventory! ABF couldn't of been more accommodating! In fact they sent me an email to track delivery while VAN's status website still indicated it was in crating.

Any chance that kit would fit in the back of an F150 or did you have to have a trailer?

I was wondering if it would work… I’ll be moving mine the same way.
Annnnnnd I just got word that I’ve moved up to the crating stage.

Default Wing Kit on the way!

I just received the bill of lading from ABF for my Wing Kit to be picked up Monday.

This is right in the middle of my 2 week Crating Date range. While I ordered the kit in late April, I'm encouraged that Van's hit their crating date estimate.

Shipping to southwest Colorado is $783 for home delivery.

I also got the email today that my tail kit is going to crating and should be ready "mid-February". Progress!

(Edited to add: Builder 121426, order 179443, ordered during Oshkosh week last year.)

Perfect- I think I'll do the pickup and save the money too. Looks like they are starting to make up some ground!
