Fuselage order confirmation

Posted in Fuselage

Received the order confirmation for the fuselage from Van’s today.  The estimated ship date is Feb. 9 — only 6 weeks from order!  Wasn’t expecting it that soon, so they must be running on good time over there.  I expect to go pick it up at the terminal (in Owatonna) again to save on the residential delivery fees, which means I have to finally take the load of junk that’s in the truck to the dump.

Options ordered with the fuselage:

  • Left & right steps
  • Right-side brakes
  • Manual aileron trim

I also need to get some shelves built in the garage to get stuff up off the floor and make more usable space, so there’s room to stash the wings & empennage pieces to make plenty of room for the fuselage build, without having to kick out a car until absolutely necessary.
