2 and a half years! Guess I don't have enough years left in my life to be able to order a QB and expect to finish it before I'm 6' under.My 14a qb fuse is being delivered Tuesday. Ordered Nov 2021.
They are LCP free according to Greg before I signed my reorder paperwork.Just curious, do any of the -14 QB's include embedded LCP blue and greens and rebuilt to remove the red & yellows?
Or are they fresh builds with no LCP's? Or is Vans saying anything with current deliveries?
I have a -14 QB fuse ordered, but ordered it last year right before they announced the bankruptcy. I'm 67 and I have to consider the ratio of probable flying years vs. time to build. As much as I want to build and fly it, I may have to just cancel the order, eat my deposit and sell my tail kit. Their "communication" in re the QBs is awful...2 and a half years!

I wonder if these were the same QB fuselages/kits that I saw. Some of them had 'salvage' or something hinting to the effect that they were part of those that weren't useable.I toured vans factory about 10 days ago when I was up there for transition training and they had about 1/2 dozen or so quick build fuselages in there that looked like they just needed to be crated up.
Danlh, I'm currently building 2 planes with a friend in Winchester, VA. The RV10 is getting close to be ready to move to a hanger and the RV14 QB fuse and wings just shipped this week. We have been scouring the local airports for hangar space as we're not sure how we are going to fit both in the garage. Please let me know if you want to sub-letting. I would be interestedI placed orders for QB wings and fuselage June of last year w/ a 1year delivery time frame. I would love to know what that time frame is currently. It be nice to have an option to change to a slow build if that would speed things up. I’m also holding an empty hanger. I might see about sub-letting it. Trying to make decisions blindfolded is no fun.

Agree. Same issue with age and flying years left vs build time. Would be nice to have more info. Dont understand the lack of info. Even a ballpark would be nice.I have a -14 QB fuse ordered, but ordered it last year right before they announced the bankruptcy.
