Today I placed my order for the QB wings and fuselage kits. The estimated lead time is 3 months, which covers the time up to delivery to the Vans factory for quality control inspection. From there, it will be crated and shipped, which will be a few more weeks. Based on my current progress and “velocity”, it should be arriving about the right time.
Looking at the elevator and trim tab plans, it’s going to be quite interesting to build. Lots of small parts, some new material (foam), the dreaded tank sealant, more trailing edge riveting, and (the hardest thing so far), leading edge rolling!
