I have been 3 years + reading this forum and am always amazed by the number of people who ask us questions that Vans can and in a lot of cases should answer. Are people afraid to ask Vans? Some people ask others about some serious changes they want to make or mistakes they made. Who better to ask than Vans? Who has 25 years + working with, (guess what!) Vans' airplanes! They probably have seen everything possible pertaining to the RV's.
Like the guy who made an error mounting the tail assembly, he asked the forum if it would be alright. Someone was smart enough to suggest he ask vans. Granted a few people here are educated enough to answer most of the questions. Problem is who are these people? There are some people on this forum who haven't a clue yet as to what's going on and they are offering advice. One wrote about using rtv silicone all over his airplane BEFORE painting! Hopefully most people with problems who ask the forum for answers also ask Vans.
I asked here once or twice myself to see what answers would be offered and I also sent an e-mail or called Vans for their answer. Maybe we just like to talk on line. Just be careful who you ask, it?s your life.
