I'm building the RV-9 taildragger and I opted for the step kit. I'm tired of them sitting on the shelf mocking me ... Van's list price is $170 - yours for $85 (2 for the price of one) plus whatever shipping cost (PayPal). They're unpainted, raw steel - just as they came from Vans. First email to gerf@gerf.com plus payment received gets them. __g__ ========================================================== Gerry Filby gerf@gerf.com Tel: 415 203 9177
