I finished my empennage in March and ordered my QB kit for the RV 9A on 3/30 and it was finally delivered last week. As I was doing my inventory, I noticed that one aileron and both flaps were listed as "back-ordered". I called Van's to find out how that happened when I thought that the whole kit was sent as a unit to the Philippines for assembly. They were "sort-off" vague.
The bottom line is that it will take at least another month for these parts to be shipped to me. I am now left with the decision of where to start work while waiting. I notice that most start on the wings but the steps seem to progress from the aileron to flap instalation and then on. What to do?
If I start on the fuse, the first step would seem to be to assemble the rudder pedals and other "stuff" in cockpit. If I do that they will be in the way for drilling the wing rear spar.
Where should I start? I hope I don't have to wait a month.
