Hi everyone-
First time builder here in southern California. I got my emp kit for the RV-14A last week. Inventory went well but one of the bags was B/O and so I am unable to begin. Literally the piece I am missing out of BAG 3037 is the first piece called for in section 6. (The piece missing is the front spar doubler VS-01401).
I called Van’s and they told me that the cable in the bag was actually the piece on B/O and that it should be ready around July 30. They mentioned that I might consider doing another section of the plane in the meantime. What do you think about that? I’ve read through the plans and it looks like I could start on the rudder and then when the B/O bag gets here in a month I could go back and complete the VS?
.
PS. I had intended to do a training course but as the COVID-19 virus has shut down all of these EAA classes I am unable to get that experience. I completed the lightbox project and the practice kit they send with the empanage, is there anything else I could maybe do while I wait for the parts that are back ordered?
