Tell her you need to inspect the contents for possible shipping damage. We all know that once it's unpacked it's impossible to put back in the box. ;)

Got mine today and put it together in about 2 hours from start to final setup. Only issue I had was the same thing with the MCB-E box as on my L-39. Gear down, no rudder or steering control. Gear up, everything works fine. Must be something with my particular brand of RX (XPS). Unplugged those wires and used a spare landing gear 3-way to hook rudders and steering direct to the RX. Works just fine that way. Maiden on Saturday.Pat

I usually unplug the Nose gear steering servo from the blue box and utilize a separate channel.... then set the rudder and forget it... the rudder trim only controls the nose gear steering!Current Hanger: FW, F4.F22,F14, Byron T-6, Top Flite P-47, Top Flite P-40, Top RC P-51 H9 P-51, SebArt Avanti, Yellow aircraft Spitfire, T Jeti Extreme Flight EDGE, DS-24 Carbon,

Yf22raptor, with a name like that it's no surprise you're the first to jump into a Starscream livery. Callie is the best, I work with her so she can size her decals as accurately as possible to our products. I look forward to seeing your finished bird.. I'm sure it will look great!
Say what one will about Michael Bay's TF movies, but I always did appreciate how he involved the US Military in them.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

Great work everyone! I am really enjoying everyone's modifications and personalizations. What a fun hobby. I'm waiting on a part to come back in stock and will resume with mine. I'm trying to document as good as you all are, but it's tough to stop everything to snap pics!

It is just Styrene sheet stock I got from my local hobby shop. Comes in different thicknesses. Commonly used by model railroad enthusiasts. I used about .040" on the inside and some .020" on the outside. Recessed the foam to fit the pieces flush with a brand new xacto blade, glued them to the foam with FoamTac and then CA'd the leading edge joint shut. Sanded smooth with an emery board (nail file) and badda bing! I will paint them later. I will be working on hinging the canopy frame next. Still trying to sort that out and whether I will use a servo or the F-15 dive brake actuator to operate it.
