Default COMPOSITE-ARF

Have to compliment C-ARF on their service.....along with Andy Kane, the rep I dealt with....

Ordered a Red/Yellow New Eurosport last Wednesday evening.......received it today via Con-Way freight in two boxes....boxes were undamaged as were the contents........planes are shipped from the C-ARF warehouse in Sparks, NV...received 6 e-mails confirming the order and then tracking #'s and updates from Con-Way almost daily.....

Box packaging was very simililar to what came with my KingCat i.e. the silver wing, canard, and stab bags, and expanded polyfoam that the fuse floats in.......I personally would have added foam beads to take up the dead space, but since it arrived unscathed, can't complain....

As with the KC, the paint-in-the-mold is near flawless....More pre-fabrication as described on the C-ARF site....

Sean, most of the good stuff is on their website.....if you want anything else, let me know.......

Getting ready for the trip to Sullivan for OMJ, so a bit short on time....

You can also download their excellent manual with lots of clear photos from their site......

Hi everyone. I'm still waiting my grey version oft ES. If someone have photos of the plane in his packing please post them. Did they have better packing with the new shipping company or it is the same? I heard that many receive their ES with some damage due to the poor packing.

Hi Tom,

Great news! I love that Fantasy scheme on the ES!!

If you (or indeed anyone building the NEW EuroSports) find any pitfalls etc or can suggest hints & tips then I'd love to hear them so I can post them on my site www.composite-arf.co.uk so that others have a 'library' of proven tips for this model etc

Good luck with yours!

Rgds,
Mark

Avicom,
I received mine with a small hole on the underside of the box. The only damage was to the engine hatch. It has a 4 inch crack on the inside of the hatch, not visible on the outside at all. The plane is packaged in double wall cardboard boxes and is quite sturdy. Other than that the fuse is wrapped in bubble wrap and the wings are in a separate box inside the included wing bags (nice to have included). I haven't gotten to building it yet as I am awaiting more funds for the rest of the stuff (landing gear, wheels/tires/brakes, ducting...). The new instruction manual is laid out pretty good and is very informative. Oh, btw, I received three boxes from them. The third arrived a couple of days after the plane. It had the now r/c gear mounting plates and hardware. So don't freak out like I did if it doesn't come with the plane. LOL. I have pictures if you want them. Just let me know.

What does "now r/c gear mouting plates" mean?

Thank you Shane. I recieve the Roo without any damage from them. This is gonna be my second one. The reason I asked is because I'm staing overseas for a few more month and my wife don't know much about repair cost you know. I hope everything arrives perfect as the Roo. Any way I need to get some flying time with the first one and get my waiver. About the link of C-ARF UK I allready download the paint and weathering tips. My is the grey ver. and I want to make the scale scheme. I think there is to many in grev colors I saw one in sand camuflage, I think is from Spain, it looks great too.
Best Regards,
Alejandro

Sorry, should read "new" instead of "now"
