After a fierce 2 day battle with the flu, I was able to get into the garage and see what the FedEx man had brought me.
Sawyer sees this as potentially cutting into play time.
I have to give it to the shipping department at Vans. They really pack a LOT of stuff into a small space! Colleen was kind enough to help me inventory the contents of the crate and we spent a good hour just inventorying and putting away the sheet metal parts. There are still many many paper bags filled with lots of tiny little parts that need to be gone through.
I also realized that I needed a longer shelf storage area for the skins. For now, they are just stacked precariously on top of a shelf, but I have plans to build something a little better that’s out of the way.
Here is the night’s work compressed into 50 seconds (Click below to play):
You can see the stack of sheet metal. Gotta fix that!
You have me so hooked on getting a Vans RV. I’m looking at the RV-14A, but unlike you I don’t have the skill to build a deck of cards much less an airplane. I did find a company that will help me with the build, but that option is very expensive (85K extra) I don’t think I’d ever get that money back if I ever sold. May I ask what the cost was to build your RV-10 and how much you think it can sell for? On a scale of 1-10 how difficult was the build? I’m so tempted, but I really have zero ability. Anyway- I’m really enjoying your website.
