Empennage kit received, ready to build, but oops!

[YME]

Wow did not expect this. But all was taken care of by Van's as always. Some things just happen. Four skins for the empennage had to be replaced.

AW, No Problem. That'll buff right out.

...and a few globs of Bondo

Seriously, Van's is pretty good about shipping replacement pieces in a timely manner. Build around it in the meanwhile--if you can.

Dave,

I finally received the replacement parts on July 11th but have been on the east coast and just got home this week. Trying to get things organized and should start build 1st week sept. Thanks

You’re gonna need a bigger scrap box.

 

[YME]

Webb,

Yeah, but on the bright side I have a lot of practice pieces for dimpling and countersinking. Oh yeah almost forgot, lots of blue covering to practice removing LOL.

 

[Webb]

Just think of what you can make. I built a tool box that fits in the forward baggage compartment.

 

[YME]

Good idea. Haven't even given any thought as to what to build. Thanks

Come on Mel, you know those are the predimpled skins.

Ya but the dimples go the wrong way. Maybe speed whistlers

Exactly. Speed whistlers are a better idea than a baseball card clothes pinned to the cowling for the propeller to to make noise.

Speed whistles = military paint scheme for those strafing passes.
