Picked up the fuselage kit from Van's. My son Tim helped by driving his van and loading up the parts as I was distracted by taking photos of Van's RV-12.
You can see from the photos the actuation bracket fit under the wing, some wing-tip colse-out and hand-hold details. The 12 had just come back from a short flight as they were testing some modifications. I talked a bit to one of the VAN's guys and he told me that the auto-pilot and lights options were built in. When I asked about how one would attach lights, he said that they were working on how that would go and that I would not have to remove wing parts to install. Not sure if I got that right, but hoping that adding lights won't pose a big deal.
The one photo I didn't get was of the fuel door. I was concerned as the paint in this region was deteriorating from the gas contacting the paint.
The fuselage kit fit easily into the back of the toyota van. There are lots of parts to this kit! Will do inventory at home this weekend. You can see my son and driver Tim, do his imitation of, of, of, well I don't know who!
