The empennage kit arrived today. My son and I picked it up from the FEDEX station and spent the afternoon inventorying the kit. It was well packed and there was only minor damage to one skin. However, it was missing two parts. I call Van's after completing the inventory to discuss the minor damage and the missing parts. They were very good about it. The missing parts will be shipped tomorrow and after a brief discussion we both agreed the damage was no big deal. Starting to work on it tomorrow
