Gas Spring

Ron B.

Well Known Member
Are the gas springs for the tip up canopy included in the kit? I don't seem to have them but the plans call for them. I'm guessing they will come with the finish kit. We are going to need that soon.
 
The gas springs were inadvertently left out of the Fuselage kit (all RV models prior to the RV-14 they are in the finish kit).

All customers who have received a fuselage kit up to this point will automatically be sent gas springs when they are available (no contact to Van's required).
 
Gas Srping Installed.

Did all of the requisite hardware for the gas springs come as well?

Yes, I have mine installed, hopefully correctly.

re: Gas Springs

HA! Mine were in the mailbox tonight, just the struts. Turns out I had the hardware already.
 
Glad to see the LP-4-5 rivets arrive with the latest shipment of missed parts. I was needing them yesterday but had to wait for the postal service delivery today. Not bad timing.
