Vans Aircraft Price Incease Announced for 4-1-14

[CubedRoot]

Well, we all knew this was coming

I noticed on their site today they had a PDF posted about the upcoming price increase.

Here is a link to the .PDF: http://www.vansaircraft.com/images/o...etter-2014.pdf

I was hoping the price increase wouldn't take effect until after Sun-n-Fun, as thats when I was going to order my tail kit (hoping there would be a show discount).

Looks like I may have an excuse to give to my wife now "Honey, we REALLY need to go ahead and order the kit before the price increases". it *might* just work.

EDIT: Does anyone know how much the typical price increase is?

Usually about 2%.
I ordered my wing and fuse the day before last year.
