Avicom,
I received mine with a small hole on the underside of the box. The only damage was to the engine hatch. It has a 4 inch crack on the inside of the hatch, not visible on the outside at all. The plane is packaged in double wall cardboard boxes and is quite sturdy. Other than that the fuse is wrapped in bubble wrap and the wings are in a separate box inside the included wing bags (nice to have included). I haven't gotten to building it yet as I am awaiting more funds for the rest of the stuff (landing gear, wheels/tires/brakes, ducting...). The new instruction manual is laid out pretty good and is very informative. Oh, btw, I received three boxes from them. The third arrived a couple of days after the plane. It had the now r/c gear mounting plates and hardware. So don't freak out like I did if it doesn't come with the plane. LOL. I have pictures if you want them. Just let me know.
