My how quickly things can change! When we first ordered our RV-10 empennage/tailcone and wing kits, we anticipated seeing the empennage/tailcone sometime in April with the wings about 3 months later. This was based on current lead times at the time of our order. The lead times for Van's have been very dynamic with a tremendously high volume of orders, material shortages, shipping challenges, etc. We were very surprised to get the email a few weeks ago that our wing kit was heading to crating - months before we expected! We are fortunate to be in the PNW and relatively close to Van's (4 hour drive), so yesterday I hopped on a one-way flight to PDX, loaded the kit into a U-Haul, and made the trek home. Just a hair under 12 hours from time I left for the airport to backing into the driveway with our first airplane parts!
