Heres a question for folks that have been around Vans a while from a complete Nube!
Does Vans increase the kit prices regularly? (yearly or more often?). I'm looking at RV10. Does anyone track that stuff here on VAF or could I find the info easily elsewhere?
I'm wondering if it's worth securing a complete kit at one time to lock in price or if there are more advantages to waiting out a slower build and buying the kits as required to build the complete plane. I'm in Canada so the one time order (although a lot of cost and material) means dealing with boarder crossing import fees etc etc may be a one time thing rather than several trips. The other advantage I see to a one time kit purchase is for subsequent ADs or Service Letters I'd be going back to one date rather than worrying about what year a particular sub kit was built.
If Vans price increases are not that regular or large percentage jumps I'd likely order as needed and deal with the import stuff each time.
Cheers, Rod.
