About 95% of the items ordered arrived today, spent the last 7 hours putting together my field box while watching HBO. Managed to get the panel and fuel pump installed, various other items as well.

... and then..

I opened up the box for the .60 Tiger 2.

.. I"m gonna need more HBO....

Let us know how your first flight goes.
WE want a through flight report!

And that's one of the easy ones!

It won't be as bad as it looks. Just be sure to read the whole manual once first, then take it one step at a time.
Dennis-

Read the manual 2 or 3 times.

One thing to really watch out for with Goldberg kits...

You are supposed to frame up the fuselage and hold it together with rubber bands, then straighten it out, and apply the glue. I suggest tacking the bottom down to your building surface so it is super secure (I actually use small nails) and make sure that everything STAYS straight as you glue it together.

Is this the ARF or the kit?

Yub,

That would be the kit. No need to nail down the ARF.

It's the kit - Just got my 9C today - Things sure have changed in 9 years. I'm fairly sure it has more processing power than the first space shuttle.

umm yeah.. like by over a 1000 times that.. a pocket calculator has more processing power than a space shuttle. (from the 80's)

That was kind of part of the joke.
