Hey All,
I came across an rv7a kit this weekend.
Quick build wing (still in the box)
slow build fuselage (parts out of the boxes, but more or less untouched)
replacement "big" rudder parts
The kit is from 2001-2002 time frame. In fact, I looked at the packing list and it's so faded pretty much all I could tell was that it was originally printed on a dot matrix.
Everything looks relatively intact and undamaged, although there are some black streaks on one of the wing skins and I'm unsure if it's ink or goo from the wrapping or maybe some kind of surface corrosion. I know that it's hard to say without looking at it, but I don't recall ever seeing black corrosion on alclad parts so any insight on what that might be is appreciated.
Basically, I'm just throwing it out here to the experts; are there any gotchas I should know about if I decide to make a run at it?
