July 22 – I was in LA on a business trip when the quickbuild kits for wings and fuselage got delivered.\u00a0 Fortunately I have two strapping sons to provide the brawn needed to unload the parts.\u00a0 The driver, Mike, from P+M Express out of Bend, OR transported my parts together with identical QB kits for a fellow builder on the same trip – saved freight costs for both of us.<\/p>\n

The pictures speak for themselves, as the well packed items came out of the trailer.\u00a0 Upon returning home, I did a quick evaluation for damage or problems.\u00a0 So far everything looks good, but the detailed inventory starts this weekend.\u00a0 I\u00a0 have 30 days from delivery to report any issues back to Van’s.<\/p>\n

Eric and I have also done quick inspections of the professional workmanship provided by the factory against our own efforts.\u00a0 While certainly there are items I would like to redo, most of our work compares favorably.\u00a0 From a quality perspective I will not be ashamed to bolt my tailcone onto the Van’s fuselage base.<\/p>\n

\"IMGP5373\"<\/a>Here the truck is parked outside our rented shop space. Apparently the temperature was still in the high 90’s after 6:00pm when unloading occurred.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5376\"<\/a>\"IMGP5378\"<\/a>First item out is the cabin canopy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5379\"<\/a>\"IMGP5385\"<\/a>Next the Lexan windscreen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5395\"<\/a>\"IMGP5399\"<\/a>The fuselage section rolls out on a Van’s jig. After inventory is complete, I will build a similar jig out of wood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5401\"<\/a>I thought the shop was big, but these parts started to take up space quickly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5406\"<\/a>Wings stored overhead in the trailer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5410\"<\/a>\"IMGP5412\"<\/a>Out come the wings – heavy and bulky.\u00a0 This required at least three people to man-handle without dropping.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"IMGP5415\"<\/a>\"IMGP5419\"<\/a>Either jigs or a rotisserie will be constructed to hold the wings as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
