Less than 12 hrs after ordering its arrived good old Parcleforce (GPO), the finnish is supurb, OK there are a few dust pimples under the lacquer coat but only noticable under a harsh light would not be noticable under daylight conditions.

The pin hinges are of very good quality but I have never seen the likes of the horn incorperated with them as the pic shows. Packaging was very good no transport marks at all everything was double wrapped the ailerons and elevators are in with the wings and tail but again seperately wraped in soft material so no chaffing between them.

The only questionable thing in the kit at the moment is the 2mm pushrods for the elevators and ailerons, they will be changed to 3 or maybe 4mm carbon rods, nylon clevisis's supplied will be discarded for ball joints, the cowl and fus has more than enough room for a cannister can not understand why it was not constructed with one in mind.

More later Mike

EDIT: forgott to mention all the hinge points are ready drilled in both surfaces will certainly speed up construction, one of the holes in the aileron had a roll of paper in it, presumably to cover the hole whilst being sprayed or lacquered.
