Well, it is "Late January"; and no UCD's in stock. Bummer.

Man, don't you hate it when you want something in a big way, you've got the cash burning a hole in your pocket, and the object of your desires is not to be had? Can anything be worse??? Yeah, I guess- like, NOT having the cash...<G>

My local hobby shop has 1 or 2 in stock. I'm sure they would ship one to you. Hobbytown 815-282-0727 in Machesney park, IL.

Thanks; I got a couple of PMs advising of the location of several.

I really appreciate the thoughts, but I have a deal working with with a hobby shop, so I'll need to wait until he gets his order in.

I'm "between projects" right now (waiting on a scale heli fuselage kit), so it would be an ideal time to knock out an ARF. I don't normally get this excited or impatient, but I put several flights on one of these amazing airplanes two weeks ago, and I have GOT to have one!<G>

It was simply the most fun I've ever had with a fixed wing model.

Ditto Steeve,

My LHS is expecting a few in a few more days. Just like when i was a kid. I thought Christmass would never arrive!

<<...my LHS is expecting a few in a few days...>>

I wonder what he knows that my guy doesn't?

This has become an immensely popular model around here. My guy has like six or seven ordered and sold. The last communique he got from The Empire said 30 JAN. He also said not to hold my breath; that could mean tomorrow, or six months from now...

Oh, well.

Yikes! I think i am going to stick with my LHS on this one too. Heard a lot of stories about smashed wings from shipping.

Yup, I'll definitely inspect the kit contents before walking out the door.

Mine should be getting unloaded from the boat today. Judging from all the comments I've read about these planes suffering damage in shipping I'll be shocked if mine is intact - its had a long journey.

Check your cowling too for small cracks. My plane was perfect except the cowl. GP is sending me a new one.

Hi All

Have two in stock with no damage.

As a side note, I notice the packaging is different now in the area of the wing tips. There is more foam and wood protecting them. this won't help if Bubba sits on it though!

Aha!!! Now it's "Mid-February". Shucks; and other comments.

Oh, well. At least the guy who updates the web site isn't asleep...<G>

Man, what drag this is. I haven't lusted after anything this bad since the seventh grade! I'm mightily tempted to order one from the few folks who still have them available, but a deal's a deal...
