Project: mhlRV14A     -     Entry

Aug 02, 2021 0.0 Wing - Kit Delivery and Uncrating Category: Wings
The RV-14A wing kit arrived in two crates. The 141" x 12" x 12" crate, which has an estimated weight of 181 lbs, is for the wing spars. The second crate, which contains lots of ribs and skins, is 96" x 32" x 12" and weighs approximately 220 lbs. The lid of the 2nd crate came off during shipping, and left some scratches from the staples in the fiberglass wing tips. The driver was very helpful moving the crate off the truck, and noted the obvious damage.

I contacted Van's technical support about the scratches in the wing tips. The scratches are superficial, and will get worked out later when the wing tips are sanded and filled later in the build. No need to file a claim, and I didn't notice any additional damage.
