Darth-UPS-Vader dropped of a couple of boxes today that were beat to death. After making Vader wait while the boxes were opened I was surprised to find an undamaged plane inside.
Man, this baby is RED!! For anyone into graphics this is the one to start with! Lots of artist easle here. As the pics get posted you'll note that it's very similar in construction to it's big brother. Two piece gear legs, a very nice cannister pipe ring/opening in the cowl. A new item with the fiberglass tunnel cover/recess. A nicely tinted canopy, and all the various nuts and bolts that normally arrive from the factory in the kit. Yes, the tailwheel is there
The light was getting a little less than optimal for pics but I hurried and shot as many as I could. A few were with a flash to give a better view of the inside. I'm gonna post a bunch of pics, starting with the box condition and then go out and get to work. Tom came up with some easy to use dimensions for an engine mounting template using the 3mm-53 so that should cut down some of the thinking part of the assembly
Overall she's looking pretty good right out of the box. Very few wrinkles in the covering and the parts fit is great with nice looking glue joints. This should be an easy assembly and flying should be a treat!
