Notes: | |||
* The standard order for the kits is: Empennage, Wings, Fuselage, Finishing Kit | |||
* The empennage kit is traditionally first -- it is fairly cheap and easy | |||
* But you could also start with the wing kit first, or even the fuselage kit (you won't be able to fully finish the fuselage kit without the tailcone (in the Empennage kit), though) | |||
* Consider buying some [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GWCJYTV Collision Wrap] prior to receiving your Fuselage kit; it is really impossible to properly inspect the transparencies (rear side windows and windshield) without removing the protective wrap that will be on them. You can remove that wrap, inspect for any scratches or issues, and then install your own Collision Wrap. Being able to remove and replace this wrap will also be helpful while installing the windows. | |||
* The wing kit can be done at almost any time. You won't typically attach the wings until the build is complete, so it's OK to build them early in the process or wait until later. | |||
* If you do the fuselage kit before you have received your wing kit, you will need to buy [[SECTION 28: FWD FUSE RIBS, BHDS & BOTTOM SKIN|temporary wing-mounting bolts]] and you will need to [https://store.vansaircraft.com/w-730-bellcrank-jig-w-730.html buy] or fabricate the [[SECTION 40: FLAP SYSTEM|W-730 template]]. | |||
* There is also the Firewall-Forward Kit which is needed if you go with the standard IO-540 engine | |||
* There are some third-party items that may have very long lead times that you may want to consider ordering very early in your build process: | |||
** IO-540 Engine (18mo to 3yr lead times as of 2025) | |||
** Quickbuild Fuselage and/or Wing kits | |||
** Interior leather/carpet, especially if you want something custom | |||
** Andair Fuel Valve (up to 1yr lead time and needed in the Fuselage build) | |||
** Exterior Paint (some shops have several years lead-time) | |||
** Avionics/Wiring (only if you want to outsource the design and wiring) | |||
* If you get stuck waiting on something, consider some of the suggestions in [[What to do when stuck]] | |||
