...and with all the packing paper you have enough toilet tissue to last a LIFETIME!!!
None too absorbent, though!
OUCH!

Good deal! That spar box makes a nice shelf if you add a little bracing.
My fuse is shipping this week and may be there by the time I get home. We are in Texas currently dropping Luke off and it is HOT!
Have fun.

John, my parents live in Austin and every time I go there it is a bit much in the summer time.
Yeah, there is a lot of paper used in the packing. We need to find a better use for it than TP though
Had to change signature from 'Wings on Order' to just 'Wings'

I used the paper to cover my workbench while prosealing the tanks.
Also used some to cover the ribs / remainder of the spar while I was priming the countersunk holes in the wing spar - it works great as masking paper.
No TP yet!

I remember opening up the wing boxes and asking myself what I was getting in to. There sure is alot of stuff in those boxes. Well, until you inventory them and organize them on the shelf. Then you want to know where all of the money went

Congrats Will. Christina and I were so excited when we opened our tail boxes.
John, thanks for the call, all set now. Tell Luke that Christina and I wish him well.

Spike I was thinking the same thing until I carefully examined the spars. Very Nice!

...and perfect timing eh Will?!? If I remember right you had just finished your emp!
How tough are those boxes to move around? Mine are set to ship the week of September 11th!
I've been pulling about 4 to 6 hours a night on the rudder etc. since I got the letter in the mail saying my wings were coming. My wife actually told me to "GET WORKING"!!!

Get a move on Peter! Yeah, the day before the wings showed up I stopped working on the emp tips (had barely started actually) and stored the emp away.
The boxes are about 400 lbs together. I had the truck driver help me and they aren't too bad. I would like to know where Vans gets there lumber though
. The crates are perfectly assembled out of very nice pieces. I need to find a use for them.
Also, unwrapping all the parts is like Xmas in August! Woo Hoo.
