Status: offline 		Got mine yesterday. Sad news is it will stay in the box for a significant period of time while I move and try to find place to build and store this plane. I don't even plan to open the box so I won't know what I'm missing. Have to sell much of what I have in the interim and pull the DA 50 off the current airframe. That plane will be sold before or at Joe Nall.

Status: online 		I'm shure there will be more bad storys of UPS damaging airplanes. Thats why you should allways open it up rightaway and check it out. I wonder if Aero-works will have any spare parts on hand for this first batch of Yaks?

Status: offline 		Hey SpecMan, sorry about the crushed fuselage. I hope mine fairs better. Mine is schedule to arrive on April 5, 06. We'll need to get together to compare to plans. I hope to have mine in the air next week.

Status: offline 		Mark, you guys should really consider Fedex. I worked for UPS as a loader and, well, lets just say that nothing is safe with them unless your box it strong enough for a 200 pound man to walk all over when he has to go break up a jam on the belts (the belts don't stop there unless there is someone hurt or there is a fire on the belt - which has happened from the intense friction of all the boxes being pressed against each other as they jam up, and most jams are freed with a swift kick against the boxes with a steel-toed boot!), or to get it to survive a 20 foot fall, to say the least.
I don't have employee experience with Fedex, but I have never received a heavily damaged item from them.

Status: offline 		Received my Yak today, what a suprise wasn't expecting untill next week. UPS treated my package great, hardly a mark on the box. Perfect shape, I do agree with bodywerks although, FedEx is much better with large packages.
