Wing kit inventory, some issues noticed!

 The joy of unwrapping everything and completing the inventory!

Only missing one small plastic tube out of one of the bags.

I did have a couple back orders.  The bag of misc bearings and the stall warning stuff.  Hopefully that stuff shows up before I get around to that section of the directions.


Amazing how they get all these parts in these crates!  Once you take em out, it seems they expand and multiply!



Did notice some issues with my right spar.  There appears to be two smiley's on these rivets and the one rivet has what looks like two places where a drill started a hole.  Also one of the rivet heads looks to be a bit shifted out of its concentric position.  Finally there is a few minor scratches.  

My RV7 and RV10 wing spars were pristine out of the box so this surprises me.  I have sent the pics to Van's for advice.


Also on the flip side of these two rivets is this mystery material and what looks like a more serious scratch.  I have no idea what this stuff is but it looks nasty!
