June 3rd, 2011

Ordered the wing kit today. !!!! :)

Below is a picture of the Van's 160HP demonstrator that I got a ride in at KOSH in 2009 and what the slow build kit looks like and what is included.  There is also a quickbuild kit which gets you a nearly completed fuse and wing, but that adds about $10,000 to the kit price.  I'd rather use that money on the engine and avionics than getting done more quickly.

On the floor in front of it is all the parts that are needed to build the aircraft, minus avionics and engine.  There are 4 separate kits which can either be ordered all at once or one by one (I'm ordering them one by one).  The available kits are: Empennage, Wing, Fuselage, and Finish kit.
