I'm about ready to purchase the wing kit and a used has popped up on VAF?



I'm curious as to what concerns and/or issues may arise by purchasing a used kit?  This particular kit has been sitting in the midwest, unopened for 3 years.  It looks like I could save about 10%, but is saving 10% worth the risk?



Some of thing things I've already thought about are:



- Corrision

- Missing parts (I believe Van's only warranties for 30 days)

- Blue plastic permanently adhered to the aluminum



Have there been any significant changes to the wing in the last 3 years?  Any other concerns that I haven't thought of?



thanks,



bob

Bob:



I bought my fuselage kit, still in the crate, but 2+ years old, about a year

ago.  I had no problem getting the blue plastic off, there was no evidence

of corrosion, the kit was complete, and I saved some money.  The only

problem I ran into, was when I wanted to return some unused parts to Van's.

Since I did not buy it directly from them, they would only give me 60%.  (I

had forgotten that I did not buy from them, when I tried to return the

parts, so 60% is fair).  



In summary, I would be more worried if the kit was opened, and/or was not

properly protected.



Best of luck,
