What a bunch of idiots, hope you claim a big chunk of money off them........

Each driver should be docked the goods value if its damaged from his earnings - that way maybe they might take some care of customers goods.

Marc reminded me today that there have been no photos posted of the Vixen since FL jets, so I happen to have one handy that I could post.

I have been very busy since returning home from FL Jets and have been making some good progress on the outfitting of the prototype.

I will be posting photos of that progress soon.

You can see the damage the DHL driver caused below the left intake, there is also damage on the right side.

Please note this is the first prototype so as part of the build process by RCISFUN all the little adjustments to formers, tank mounting etc etc will be planned and placed into the revised production run once the aircraft has proven to fly and perform as designed.

Took the Vixen outside tonight to do rolling test in the driveway to check strut alignment.
Just have to test run turbine now and she is ready for the test flight.

Billy get your video recorder ready for this weekend.... if the weather holds!
