Hello all.........I have been reading the postings on this group but never got involved in any of the discussions. Perhaps to my misfortune. I recently completed the tailcone and tail feathers of my RV-10 following a good training session at Alexandar Technical in Griffin Ga. I must say that I had no trouble with the initial build but dedcided, after much prodding, to go with the QB Fuse and Wings. I ordered both in July but still haven't received them. Van's informes me that they can ship the Wings now but the Fuse is still on back order. Problems with production in South East Asia. I haven't agreed to a separate shipment because I live in Western Mass., (Monterey, Ma.) which is in the Berkshires, so the cost of shipping from Oregon to Mass. is not inexpensive. When shipped together, I will save over three hundred dollars. When shipped separately, the costs go up but I may bite the bullet and have the wings shipped now. I must say that Van's is very understanding of the situation and they offered to credit me for the cost overrun. I still have to pay for delivery from Albany, NY, the closest Van's shipper is to my home........about one and onehalf hours away.
While I am waiting, I would like to build a "cradle" for the wings and fuse but Van's has no recommendation for such a platform. Has anyone built a cradle or dolly which works well? I would appreciate any feedback or pictures of one which does the trick. I am currently using a carpeted, large, 4 X 8 table which is on wheels but it is 40 inches off the floor and placing the Fuse or wings on it will make it impossible to work comfortably. I worked well for the tailfeathers. The tail cone is on a solid set of horses, (I have attached a photo if you are inerested) which is also too high. I guess I can fabricate something myself but why reinvent the wheel. Please let me know if you have a good solution.........thanks Larry Klein
