Waffle, waffle, waffle......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have a question regarding dimpling: Do you use the same tool to dimple the tank cover and the ribs? I have seen that there is available also a deeper dimpler for the ribs. In the first case there should be left a gap of 0.01" between ribs and cover, and in the second case this gap should be ideally 0" all along the union. Which is the best way to go? Is it better to leave a gap to be filled by the sealer or is it better to keep the gap as small as possible, say cero?

If you gonna show closeups of your hands, please at least cut and clean your nails........

Will it be at Oshkosh this year?

Have you considered contacting Fatigue Technology in WA state?

Scott what an excellent demo covering all areas. What a huge amount of info. Thanks!!!

I ordered a replacement rudder at the height of the laser cut part period (Jul/14/2022) order number 213355. I have received no email and I have had no response to my multiple emails to Orders.

Maybe I missed it in the video, but for those who want to purchase QB replacement assemblies, what actions do they take? The form I received back when I initially ordered my lasercut replacements didn't have the option/pricing for them.

Van's is the most professional/trust worthy company that I know of. Thank You!

I very much appreciate Van's approach to dealing with the challenges that they have faced and continue to face.

chicken bomb competition at Oshkosh when?

You mean that HUGE "BOOM" IN YOUR BUSINESS THAT "MADE" YOU SWITCH FROM PUNCHING HOLES TO LASER MELTING THEM DIDN'T SEND REVENUE AND PROFITS "SKY-HIGH"?

Punched hole shops had more work than they could keep up with. Laser cutter shops were twiddling their thumbs. Hmmm. Just a coincidence I'm sure. Yeah. Right. Lasers do not cut HOLES. They cut OPENINGS. Holes are MADE. Punching them is a "constructive" process because the dies CONTROL THE PROCESS. Lasers HEAT THE BASE METAL and an AIR JET does the actuall cutting. Much like Oxy-Acetylene cutting only the laser process uses atmospheric air which is not "PURE" like the oxygen cutting "jet". And there is no PRECISE CONTROL with a laser under "computer control" because current, air flow and "feed speeds" are not precisely and "infinitely" VARIABLE. No other shop CUSTOMER is using your dies IF your "engineering" is actually PRECISE. EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER THAT COMES IN THE DOOR USES "YOUR" TOOLS LASER CUTTING AND THERE ARE "CONSUMABLES" THAT ARE REPLACED ON A "TIME" BASIS VS. A "VOLUME" BASIS. MEANING YOUR "ENGINEERING" IS SUBJECT TO HOW LONG THEY HAVE BÈEN IN USE ON OTHER CUSTOMER WORK NOT HOW "WORN OUT" THEY ARE.

my guitar case hinges have rivets and I have broken drill bits and whatever you call that punch, they break in half... you can't drill a round surface everything. just slips right off, been working this for weeks now...

We can do without the music

have you gone to the Bahamas and South America yet? If so, how easy was it to get them to allow you to fly in their airspace with this plane? Thanks

To emerge as a profitable company allows you to pay your creditors in full. Not 55%. Without making creditors whole leaves your name tarnished. I will have paid $15,750 for which I received nothing. Not to mention the time building a tail that’s now worthless. This is not great news for me, so spare me your exuberant enthusiasm. You must know this feeling is prevalent since you left the comment turned off on the restructure approval video.

Good to see that Vans might have a future yet. BUT let’s not forget how they destroyed their own trustworthiness, ruined many a customers long life dream, bare that in mind when you outlay a fortune! There’s a saying…..I forgive but I’ll never forget!

Yeh everything is great and no one got ripped off.

It is good to see you back in action 💪✈️🇺🇸

I have assembled an RV-9A in China. It is a very good kit aircraft, but my English is very poor. Can I understand this sentence?

yes, over communicate, its the best way, dont leave any questions out there. thank you!

time to outsource yer crap and company to china.

Oh Boy- I want to work on airplanes- but Portland, no thanks.

Vans has screwed their vendors. Shame on you!

Refreshing to see Vans doing such a professional job with their reorganization. As a Vans aircraft owner I find this integrity reinforces my faith in my aircraft and the company.

Im glad to see Vans on the path to recovery!

The aviation community needs VANS and other experimental companies to exist. I'm happy to hear how things are going forward and appear to be getting back on track. I look forward to receiving the updated parts for my RV-10 build.

I’ve had a 7A, a 7, an 8, and now a 14A. Where’s my RV-15! 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is great news. Look forward to receiving my parts soon 🤞 Until then I have lots of parts to rub down for alodining.

I am just curious about what was in your hand the whole time.

I recently started monitoring Flightradar24 here in Las Cruces, NM. Starting 2 days ago three of your airplanes started buzzing the area. I live out near the airport and I hear them right now. They are 4, 6. and 8.

Again, great update Greg. Thank you! Finally received my engine build update. Thank you for the work and thank the van’s team for their hard work and effort to come out of ch. 11.

RV-15! RV-15!! RV-15!!! UPDATES!🇺🇸🛫😎

Still waiting on LCPs. It's been a year now. Got the email and responded, and I'm really looking forward to building again. Here's hoping!

Great update! Thanks for the continued communications. You guys really have stepped up to the plate in a big way!

Thanks Greg, this is the exact engine order into we were waiting for.

Over two years lead for a 80-year-old boat anchor is criminal. How can Rotax create an engine with more components in a fraction of the time?

So glad we are out of bankruptcy

No mention of the elephant in the background, the RV-15. But my gosh does it looks good. One day I gotta sell a few dozen kidneys for one.

Is there a production path to ordering kits from 100% in-stock inventory, or do you expect manufacturing to remain as just-in-time manufacturing of orders from backlog?

Thanks for the update Greg! It's always great hearing from you. I'm REALLY enjoying my -14A build.

Great aircraft

If you use a palm drill it becomes like a extension of your pointer finger and becomes intuition to drill straight. I only use a battery power drill if I am somewhere I don’t have shop air access

Is there sealant name and part number that I must get?

Now I understand why Richard has not flown until 04/14 since .08/01 last year while we had good soaring days in Aug. I am glad you resumed flying. Thank you for your assessment about the weather which is the great info for me who flew at the same days.

If you cut holes with a laser the thermal difference between the cool areas and hot areas cause and develop stress leads to cracking ,
