Default RE: Operation R/C

Hi Laine,

I sent the Lithium pack and charger via USPS to the APO address. It turns out that the local Post Office in my suburb of Rochester was all I needed to go to. The customs page is a small sheet the size of an old charge card receipt so I grabbed a few extras to have them filled out in advance.

Unlike UPS and Fed. Ex., the USPS does not fill out a mailing label so you need to address the box in advance. They sell mailing labels for 49 cents so I filled one out. It made me laugh because it had some goofy kids designs on it almost like it was for a present. I said to the clerk, "Do you know that this is going to a U.S. soldier?!", and they said that's all they have. I just smiled and shook my head.

When the Zagi Tazz arrives, i'll send it right out to the APO.

Take care!
