About Tx and Rx, G1 was set-up for the pilot to just instal the RX of his/her choice to avoid problems and keep it moving.
One of the problems with G1 was in fact the box. Mike's idea of making it out of Coroplast and duct tape was perfect and looked incredibly durable but the size created expensive ship rates. This time around it might be prudent to make the box a common cheap to ship size.
There are pics of the covering and box in the early part of this thread that I posted when she was finished up. Stickers are an easy thing to do but we also put stickers of our own on the plane and box to show where she had been, as well as a sharpie pen initial in the box.
