followup
To followup my above comments, I just e-mailed princeamerica before dinner. I wanted to make sure that my credit card info was OK and my model would ship, etc...
I got back from dinner and they had already responded!!. I now have it from the horse's mouf that my plane is on the way. he even gave me the fedex tracking number.
We all know how important customer service is to our enjoyment of the hobby - if this episode is a good indicator I'll be very happy with my plane.
