For the rest of you with this repetitive issue. Inspect all formed
parts and inform VANS within the prescribed time of receipt. A
defective formed part should be replaced at no additional purchase cost
to the Builder/Manufacturer. Shipping is another matter. This aircraft
has made a 125 million dollar economic impact to worldwide aviation,
already. It will only take a few defective parts working in harmony to
have a precipitous impact on insurance rates for the remaining
builder/manufacturers left with the project. They(VANS) may have to
resort to an RMA process and improved QC (internal) process which is
good for all concerned. Complacency or willingness to install such
parts is not a good thing. Ask your surviving spouses attorney.
$30 here, 100 there, if you see all the rejected canopies you begin to
get a picture of many builders actually doing a "Receipt Inspection".
