Noble Build

Congrats. to you also Kebo and welcome.
Feb. will be here before you know it.
Getting the shop in order, gathering needed tools, looking through the build
manual are all good things to do before the big box arrives. I bought a 4x8 sheet of plywood to hang on the wall. Put finish nails in it to hang all the little plastic parts packages that come in the kit (there are hundreds) up for easy location. Searching through boxes on the floor for parts takes lots of time. Much quicker to have them all out and visible as you come across them in the manual. Anyways good luck and enjoy the process.

Thanks everyone for the luck! I plan on posting my progress to this thread. I'm working my way through the inventory today.

It sure seemed like a long wait from the time I ordered the kit (April 30th) to delivery (September 29th). Kitfox had the kit ready on the 17th. That was about 2 weeks earlier then their estimate in April. The Partain driver did a good job delivering the kit to Portland, Or. So far everything looks good! I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks

I am just wondering. Wouldn't it be cheaper, easier to just put all the parts of the same part number in the same container? I spend hours (well, maybe not hours) searching through the parts bags looking for an AN3-4A bolt with a specific KF part number. I think I would prefer all the same in one container.

I would think it would be cheaper too. But, then I'm just looking at it from my view. The previous kits I built lumped all the same hardware in the same container.

Congrats on the kit Scott!
Hey, the other kit in the Partain trailer was my kit. I'm hoping to see it here in Michigan this week.
Have fun on the build.

Welcome to the club Scott. You're just down the hill from me so I can keep up with your build in person. However, a build log on this forum would be good.

I thought so too at first but as I work on my kit I like that 90% of it is done by section. Makes it easier for me personally in the way I have things organized but to each his own I suppose.

Took 6 hours to do the inventory yesterday. Only a couple of parts to go.

I agree with Esser. I started to hang mine on the wall also and realized that most everything is boxed by section. It was much easier to look in one box than chase them on the wall.

I guess what I'm thinking is that a 125 AN3-4a bolts in one container makes more sense than 25 bags containing different quantity of same. And cheaper too.

There is an issue with those who buy just the wing sections and then the fuselage, etc.

Ok, I'll shut up. Have had my say about how to make the product better.

Sorry for the cell phone picture, but here is an update. I got my wings rigged. I needed to have a couple of friends come by to lift the wings onto the plane & help with some of the measurments.
