I'm hoping someone may assist. I am in the middle purchasing a 2007 RV7 slow build (unstarted) and am needing to attend the vendor's residence for inventory and packing in a couple of weeks.
I have sent 3 emails to VANs and unfortunately have had no response (over the last 3 weeks). Apparently I'm not the only one.
So,
1) Does someone have a packing list from around 2007 onwards they can forward to me. All subkits, fuse is a tip up, and includes the finishing kit for a 200HP.
2) To date I have been quoted approx USD1100 to have shipping crates made. How much are you guys paying for crates? Surely not that amount. I'm having 4 built (not six) according to VANS website, perhaps increasing the height by a little and sqeezing the empenage components in. Does anyone have any suggestions to reduce the cost or should I simply suck it up?
3) I currently have a 25 mm base with 16mm frame. Side walls 7 mm ply with the lid 3mm. OR, should the frames and ply be stronger.
The kit will be delivered by me to the courier's depot and then road freighted 3000miles to my home address in Sydney (domestic only). I'm guessing as long as they dont stack the crates on toip of each other, or put afork lift through them they'll be fine. I will be insuring the goods while in transit. Am I missing anything?

Thanks in Advance!
