Somebody on another thread mentioned "January's price increase". I looked on Vans website but didn't see any announcement of an increaes. Does Vans always increase their prices in January? If so, how much (ballpark) do they go up? I anticipate being ready for a wing kit in a couple of months... wondering if I should try to get my order in before Jan?

Around 3 percent.

Order now, it takes almost 3 months to get the wings anyway.

You are charged the current price when it ships. So, if you order today and there is a 3% price increase before it ships, you will pay the increase.

That's changed, see the PDF linked above.

Pricing policy: Aircraft kit orders, including Standard and QuickBuild Kits,
accompanied with a 25% deposit, will sell for the price in effect the day the
order is received at Van?s. (NOTE: due to time constraints customer instigated
shipping delays will result in price increases).
