OK it's a minor detail but I have to vent. Bought and received the QB wings a couple of years ago. Inventoried and had a few missing parts but Vans fixed them up. Last week I installed the wings and then the flaps and realized I was missing 2 of the 4 rod end bearings (CM-4M) that are required for the flap pushrods. I only inventoried 2 and didn't know then that I needed 4. The other two were supposed have to have been installed when the flaps were assembled in section 22. With the quickbuild there were 2 to be installed in that section and would have been included with the slow build wings I imagine.
Called Vans and they quoted the 30 day window to note any descrepencies and would only sell me the two I was missing. With shipping to Canada their mistake will cost me another $60 or so. Clearly not my fault or doing. C'mon Vans can't you do better than that? It's not the money but how can they expect a builder to try to anticipate and pay for their mistakes?
I posted this so others can learn. Go through the subsequent sections to see if you actually have all the parts to complete assembly once you get to that point. It seems some of the QB parts may not make it through and back to you.
