I received my Lysander on May 12 I believe. It comes in one giant box which was indicated to be 97 lbs. but I believe that is the way to charge for the oversize package as it certainly didn't weigh that much. The packaging was very well thought out and protective and I had no damage from shipping. I was like a kid in a candy store unwrapping the huge model aircraft encased in the box and went right away to working on it. There is on area that you really need to pay attention to and that is where to wing tubes slide into the pockets and the same whee the stab plugs in. Any covering that intrudes into these pockets or any glue smudges or irregularities need to be cut down as the fit is very tight where the structure plugs in. I would suggest that you take a piece of steel wool or schotchbrite and polish the aluminum tubes as they are a very close fit.

I had purchased an EVO 777 radial engine about a year ago and have been looking for an airframe for this engine and ordered the Westland Lysander hoping the radial engine would fit and I couldn't be happier with the fit, the look and the ease of installation. I made a mounting plate of 1/4" aluminum and cut down some of the standoffs to mount the engine to the firewall and it is a perfect fit. I am going to include some pictures of it sitting in my living room and will try to send some better detail pictures later. I have been building models for 67 years and this is the best yet.
