I am wondering the same. RV-10 QB Fuse green tagged Exemplar Jan 2022 and QB Wings green tagged Exemplar April 2022.
I’m recently retired and I’m at the beginning of the project, working on Emp/VS. I was doing a little thinking while exercising this afternoon and overlooking the QB Fuse and wings in the hangar. Since the timeframe of my QBs seem aligned with the laser cut issue, I continue to wonder if I have nothing to worry about or I have $50k of scrap. I’ve lost some motivation as well and there is really no way I’ll move forward integrating anything with the QBs at this point. I do have a flying A/C albeit a little slower and from the certified world, but it’s a good plane. Rhetorical question is why did I go down this path? There are many answers but here I am.
That said, I believe Van’s is trying to address this and ultimately will get it right. I’ll try to keep a positive attitude. I haven’t found any laser cut parts with the Emp kit and I’ll try to continue to work on it in the meantime, but I’m in no rush and nowhere near needing to do anything with the QBs.
edit: I damaged a VS rib and ordered a replacement. It came last week. Laser cut with scorch marks. Tagged 10/13/22
