Unpacked the empennage kit and made sure I received everything in good order. Everything looked good except one of the HS-603 rear spar pieces. There was a scratch that was deep enough to really catch my fingernail and even though I'm sure I could buff it out, I did not want to risk the possibility that the scratch would weaken such an important part, even if only marginally so. I emailed Vans about the issue and they graciously offered to send me two new spar pieces. I organized all parts by empennage section on rolling shelves and separated the hardware by part in part organizers. I can't wait to get started!
