It would be but I have to wait for some Power HD servos so it will crash quicker. Wink

This was shipped by DHL - all I was charged was the HST on the declared value and a $10.00 processing fee. Little better that a shipping company who shall remain nameless but who's initials are UPS. Driver called early this morning to see if I would be home for the delivery - had no problem changing the delivery to my office.

Took a quick look inside - impressed with the packaging. The inside of the cardboard box is lined with 1/8" plywood!

Awesome, Dan!

I just opened up the boxes and I love this plane already. Excellent hardware package as can be seen from the picture from the website. Mine came with the spats instead of wheel pants which I prefer. Wheels have aluminum hubs. Big plane! Smiley

Colour scheme on mine is different than in the picture.

Now, I must haul tons of packaging away from the last three planes - can't move in my building room. Grin

No Freakin way!! WOW, it arrived fast! I love the Pilot's stuff... good quality and they fly nice. Go over all the seams with a hot trimming iron to keep the covering from peeling off.

I would not hesitate to buy another from them... maybe they should start selling jets! Grin

Looking good Steve. Can't wait to see it.
One suggestion - ditch the China Tygon crap (it hardens real quick) and use the only genuine Tygon fuel lines in the tank and engine feed.
