        Once Motion ships a package I don't know how long it takes to get the e-mail notification, it could be within minutes or hours.

        Because of the not knowing today is the day where I start looking at my account every couple of hours to see if the fulfillment status goes from unfulfilled to fulfilled.

        I don't know why but for some reason I'm really excited to get this plane!

            Please don't kill the messenger here folks but I got word that the A-10 shipments have been delayed a bit due to good ol' customs (both China and US as I understand).

            So the first container was due on the 18th but is now due on the 26th. So as of right now, just one week delay. This is the bummer in trying to predict ETAs. They can change quite easily and out of our control.

            So Group 1, we're still looking good for notifications going out before the end of the month. Group 2 is still mid to late June.

                      Good to know. Thanks for the update. My new Avanti S will be delivered tomorrow so, I'll just have to play with that until the end of the month:Cool::)

                          Is there any update as to when the empty 90mm nacelle upgrade option will be available for purchase? When the A-10 container arrives, or further down the road?

                            I don't have any specific word but it should be available the same time as our spare parts which are always loaded around the time the model is in stock.

                                  The week delay won't bother me cause I'm busy with a minor redesign of the carport on the side of my garage to raise the roof from to 8 to 11 ft to get the new rolling hangar/bunkhouse under it. Got the galvanized roof and girts off and the new header up and post supports which will be used for the new 11 footers.
                                  I just hope it ain't any later cause I need the time to assemble, paint mod and maiden before going to NEFI. :Cool:

                                    Just a tip, it would be nice to be able to buy spare parts up front so they can be shipped with my model so I can use the free shipping (> $100 total).
