Hello all:
Anyone care to enlighten me about Van's system for revising and disseminating revisions to their drawings? Is there a standardized, automatic way to receive them in the mail, or do I need to check their website constantly? And how do I know that the ones I'm using are, in fact, the "latest and greatest"? How do I know I'm not missing some important change?
Here's an example: In September, I received my QB wing and fuselage kits. I've noticed that my wing manual refers to "Drawing 14A," but I actually received drawing "14B." All the other drawings I received are "A" series.
There are several little errors in the plans, which I'm sure people have noticed and notified them about, yet very few revisions seem to have been made.
You'd think Van's would update their plans and builder's manuals a little more consistently, or have a page on their website with the latest revision numbers and PDF files of those revisions. Or maybe they do -- I certainly can't find one...
Van's tech-support folks were a bit vague when I asked this question.
Thanks in advance.
