ORIGINAL: reincarnate
The speculation is over. I picked mine up tonight at LHS, evidently right off the UPS truck, since it wasn't even in the computer yet.
First impressions:
The box is large. Don't expect it to fit in your car. It's a big plane. I took the parts out of the box and inspected for shipping damage and found none. The covering is typical of H9 products; top notch. I didn't remove anything from the plastic, as I don't plan on starting assembly for a couple of days, and have two planes on the bench right now. This plane looks fantastic from a design standpoint, and even unassembled I can see the lines are going to be great. Took some quick pics, as I have appointments to keep, but here's a quick peek.
I may start a build thread, but it'll be slow since it's flyin' season, not buildin' season[8D], so if someone beats me to it, I'll join in. If you need info about anything let me know.
Nice Work Bench
