Gary, I discovered after a few weeks of this that the work done by Joe Gores to recap problems as he went along is an absolute must to supplement the plans. Covers lots of problem areas. Just do an archive search using the plans page number and it will come up in one or more of the threads.

Examples this week, from memory I think it the plans page was 35-03, my page received mid Dec 2011 (dated 2009) has wrong bolt for inner gear. After not finding the bolt and coming back to house to check found that the sheet had been replaced by one in October 2011. On the same page plans say to loosely install inner and outer brackets and insert gear. No way that will work (at least it would not for me and not for several early builders). Search on VAF shows a couple of ways that will work - but plans still describe a process that I could not get to work. Thanks - Joe, Marty, and the other pioneers.

I have decided to check and recheck and not worry about that stuff.

Try not to get too excited. Van's has consistently missed it's own deadlines with this one.

I think he probably meant timeline rather than deadline.

Specifically no, but Van's brilliant presentation on the RV-12 Skyview stated that Skyview would be available early fall.

I think the same Van's employee told me that it would be here last year.I really don't think they have any information from Van's leadership if they even have any when the sky view will be released. VAN'S AIRCRAFT Has
very poor leadership or we would have been informed as things went along
good or bad not the way it went. From the purchasing dept, order department, Scott, Mitch. engendering dept , and everyone I talked to in the last year. It will be here NEXT ? I think we all got short changed.
Bayne p.s. What do we think of Van,s today
