So first thing I do with any kit is to inventory everything, and since some parts got busted up, I wanted to find which ones need to be replaced, and also make sure everything is there. There is a bundle of sheets and sticks, not very many considering the size of this plane. Some 3/8" for the fuse stiffeners, some 1/8" x 1/2" hardwood for stringers, and 3 sheets of balsa, one of which was split in half by the fool who dropped it.

Everything was there, and nice and straight.



Next up go through all the laser cut balsa sheets, and there are quite a few of them. All the large sheets were undamaged, but a few of the 3" and 4" ones were busted up, at least one will need to be replaced as I couldn't find the missing piece. Also found two pieces missing.



After sorting through all the scraps and piecing together the broken parts, I went through and inventoried the plywood parts, all looked good.

Small, very small sample of the parts.
