I'd really like the 3rd one to be a winner. My LHS owner (who has never steered me wrong) told me that Horizon has had a rash of crushed rudders that apparently happen when the box is dropped somewhat hard on the rudder end. The engine has a plastic cap on the crank so if "thumped" on that end I don't think it would hurt anything but, the loaded fuselage is a somewhat heavy unit and I can see damage happening if the uncaring UPS guy just tosses it out the side of his truck as I've seen them do before. Not to mention the in transit handling. There was a styrofoam block glued in the box intended to keep it from dinging the tail that perfectly matches the crunch. It's makes sense to me.

As far as missing pieces go, well, if number 3 is intact but missing something, there are 2 more sitting there waiting on return call tags... Can you say "Cub Salvage Yard"???[8D] I'll be sure to inventory #3 before I leave. Thanks.
