After long deliberation, I finally hit the "buy" button and ordered this for a winter project. 95" wingspan should be big enough for my old eyes to see. A couple of DLE-20's and retracts should complete the setup. Smiley

Thanks, guys. I'm really looking forward to this project.

I do find it ironic that working all those extra hours and weekends that kept me from doing any flying this year resulted in a bonus cheque that is being partially used to fund this project. Wink

Appreciate the offer, Glen - not many would be so nice as to do that for me  Wink. Should I just leave it in the shed?  Grin Grin

Tried ARFPRO's first, Glen. Sent them a few emails but got no response at all. Only problem with TRM is this is my first order with them. They require some additional ID confirmation for your first order if you are are not located in the US. I have everything sent to them and they have confirmed the orders - even broke then down so shipping would be the cheapest. Just have to patiently wait for some BIG boxes now...

Ordered two DLE-20's and the electric retracts. The Generation 1 retracts are a bit slow (40 - 60 seconds to open or close but the G2 Upgrade due out in the Spring will speed them up to around 10 seconds which should look nice. Best part - no air leaks!

Didn't really think this out too well though - I have numerous scale "cockpits" to work on - cockpit, nose gunner, upper turret etc. Angry There goes the winter, I guess.

Little wonder you had bad luck with ARFPRO Steve... heck, they're in Venice for Pete's sake.... likely dont even speak English..Lips Sealed
bye the time they shipped something by "slow gondola" it would take as long to get here as it takes me to build....... Wink

Thanks, Dan. Looking forward to it although I haven't flown a tricycle gear plane for around 20 years. Wink Wink Order should be shippped from TBM in the morning since they have everything in stock (unlike a "local" supplier who only had 4 out 13 items in stock from an order I placed last night Angry).

Hmmmm, let see...

Estimated delivery time - one week
TBM estimated construction time - 40-50 hours
ESM factor - 40-50 hours Wink
Main cockpit, upper turret, rear turret, nose section - ????

Total = see you at the field in 2014  Cheesy Wink Cheesy

Man thats a cool plane Steve! Was on  my list but I'm way too poor now Undecided Grin
Looking forward to seeing it when it comes in.

Do you think 40 to 50 hours is enough time for the ESM factor. Grin
