After 2 attempts to deliver the Sequence ( I wasn't home) I finally went and picked it up this morning. The box looked good except one ding on an edge, but it didn't look like it went through more than the outside box.



First was the motor. I have seen other RimFires at the field being used, but never ran one myself. Initial thoughts are the motor looks good, has soldered on male 4mm bullets (females included for your ESC), the only 'drawback' would be if you wanted to front mount the motor. There is no included hardware for mounting the prop.



Opening it up, the airplane box was undamaged. Not bad considering my last plane delivery from UPS.



So like every one of us, it was time to dig in...The wings, stabs and sticker/instructions were sitting on top. The stabs stayed taped in place but the wings had popped loose from the tape. A quick visual inspection through the bags and they looked good. On to the bottom layer and side boxes.



Here you can see the parts bags in the larger end box, the fuse, cowl, wheel pants and tubes in the center and the landing gear legs in the small end box.



The parts bags include a tank and engine mount for glow set-ups and all the nuts, bolts, horns, etc.... The gear are carbon and look very nice. They are a bit heavy, but they are stout. If i were to go crazy, I might look into a lighter set, but they're going on as is for now. The wing and stab tubes are taped to the floor and also have the pushrods with them. The wing tube is carbon but the stab tube is aluminum.



I will weigh all the parts later with more pics. If you have any questions, ask away. If i don't answer that means the answer is coming soon. Like I said before, I am waiting on all the rest of the stuff to build/finish this so it will go slowly. Also once I start the build I won't be posting anything until its either all done or I stop for a few days.
