The 14 day builders assistance program at the Alexander Technical Center . I completed the Empennage kit. The only tasks left to complete are Section 11: Empennage Attach and Section 12: Empennage Fairings. The program will easily save 6 to 9 months of building.

Wing tips are complete. I ordered in March 2005 and Van's had an August ship date. However, in typical Van's fashion the quickbuild wings and fuselage shipped in early July. I am using Partain Transport Company (518/330-0828) to do the shipping. Not a significant cost savings since I live in New Jersey, but it should be more convenient.

Currently working on the canopy and wiring (January 2007).

My engine is here, but I am not yet ready.
