Default Vans backlog is getting better
I placed a full-kit order for a 10 on March 3, and just got a crating notice for late September for the wing kit, much faster than I expected.

Generally, this is good news. For me, not so much. I ordered the finish kit before the fuse arrived due to the price increase that was announced. I could use an extra few months beyond the 14 that was stated when I ordered. I'm headed towards that $75K engine and prop necessity faster than I want to be.

Is there a backlog for one-off parts, or just kits? I just put a small parts order in but totally forgot they're having trouble/delays.

Vans website will indicate if the part is "in stock". My experience is - if it says in stock, I get it in about a week.

lucky you!...RV7 here ordered last June wont see it till this November probably crating about the same time as yours...due to the "batching" you get bumped up the list.

Just another data point on this.
Ordered my -8 fuse in November, with a 12 month + lead time. Just got an email with crating in early/mid September.
So things are getting better.

I don't know about that....I ordered an RV8 finish kit a year ago next week and it said 6 month lead time on their website. I just got notified that it may kit some time October, so I'm not expecting it until November. That's almost a 1-1/2 years. I'm not thrilled....but I guess I understand.

Full-kit meaning what? Including Finishing and FWF?

I ordered my Finish kit in January and haven't heard any news.

I would also be interested to hear of finish kit time scales if anybody has recent info - I ordered a 7 finish kit in February 2022.
