Anyone in the Midwest taking delivery.....
... of a fuse or wing kit any time in the near future?
This 2nd hand wing kit that I ordered has a few missing parts. One being the rear spar web for the RH wing. Called Van's, and the part is about 52 bucks. No Biggie..... Shipping, on the other hand, $197.00! 
I am in south east KS, but if anyone around the center of the country is about to take delivery of the big / long pieces, I would be happy to share some of the delivery cost. $249.00 with shipping is just not feasible on a 52 $ part.
Any ideas / advice?
Gregg

.....or southern U.S.
How about anyone picking up their own kit, maybe going to the south east? Guess I just have to suck it up and pay it...

Gregg,
Another thought is that Independence isn't far from a place where they probably have aircraft grade aluminum suppliers. There's nothing magic about Van's aluminum - if you can find the angle in Wichita, you might just go get some.

Thanks Paul,
...... I have thought about this. The problem is, is that it is the rear spar web, 10' long, z bend, at critical angles. If I could find a 10' metal brake, I think I would try to make my own.... Haven't found it yet.
