Just trying to get a handle on the current state of delivery times at Van's. Wondering if any of you have taken delivery of components lately and, if so, could you tell us the time between order and delivery.
I'm currently waiting on a fuselage that was ordered on December 10 -- 12 weeks ago. Apparently it still hasn't shipped and it's past the projected shipping date. Web site says 7A fuselage lag is 10 weeks.
So, since I've got nothing to do, I thought assembling a little current schedule of actual delay times would be useful for those trying to "time" things with their current subkit.
I intentionally arranged things so I'd have the winter "off" from the project and the fuselage would arrive at the beginning of spring. Major miscalculation. I forgot to factor global warming into the equation.
