I called Van's this afternoon and placed my order for the Wing kit. I talked to Barb and she was very helpful. After confrming all the particulars about the order, I faxed the order form to her with the details for the deposit.
I asked about the lead time for the Wing kit and even though she said the website says eight weeks, she thought it could ship in late April or early May.
I've made good progress on the Empennage/Tail Cone kit, but there is still a lot of work to do. Once I am able to start working on the wings, they should keep me busy well into next year.
