Brief Description: Missing parts from bulkhead assembly (10-04)
Sent off a note to Vans today to see if I just can't find these parts or if they didn't make it in the original shipment. The bearings (VA-146) are needed before I can proceed with the rest of the bulkhead build. This part number doesn't show up in the original packing list, so unless it was bagged as a sub kit assembly, then I never received it. I hope to hear back soon. In the meantime I can start prepping the skins for the tail cone.
Also looked ahead (section 12) and I never received the Tail cone fairings (F-1294A & F-1294B). I asked about those as well.
Placed the order for the Wing Kit this week. The lead times have jumped to 12-14 weeks, so I wanted to get my order in so I don't have to wait as long. I also added up based on my save rate how long it's going to take to finish and it looks like this will be about a 5 year project, with the engine being the largest expense to save up for. Nice thing is I can take my time and do a really nice job on the build.
Missing bracket bearings (VA-146)
Also noticed Tailcone fairings are not included (F-1294A & B)
I founf what was most likely mistaken for VA-146 bearing.
