 |
|
For some reason, my kit included the wrong weights for the elevator
counter weights. The guys at Alexander's said they were RV9 rudder
weights, and too many of them at that.
After getting home and doing some measuring against the full size
drawing in the plans, I confirmed that they were wrong. Vans has since
sent the right ones.
I'm builder 40605. If you are nearby, you may want to double check your
weights against the drawings.

That's interesting! I'm builder #40264 and received my emp. kit in 2004.
It also had the wrong elevator counterweights. When I talked to Van's back
then with the dimensions they couldn't figure out where they came from.
They suggested I cut and drill them to fit but I fianlly had the right ones
sent. Cutting and drilling through lead is no fun at all. Another potential
trouble spot is in the wing kit with the aileron brackets. The W1013C-L
didn't line up with its counterpart. The rivet holes were okay but the
bearing recess was off about 1/32". This should be corrected by now but if
you bought the slo-build wings in the 2005 time frame and have been sitting
on them, check this out. With all the parts in these kits an occasional
glitch can be expected. Overall they do a great job.
