              Out for Delivery since 5:00am. Mine always says that, yet they deliver it every time between 7-8:00pm. Why must my "little brown box ride in the "big brown box" all day long?
              Think I'll drive around and see if can catch him going into another residence or business in the area.:Cool:

                      Assembled my A-10 today. No issues except the the manual states that the inboard flap used a 63 mm pushrod and the outboard flap uses the 76mm rod. The manual has those two rods reversed. The inboard flap used the 76mm rod and the outboard flap and aileron both use the 63 mm rod.

                      The control throws seem gigantic too me. Aileron is 40 mm on high rate and 30 on low. Is it ok to use these settings for a first flight?

                            So I didn't think UPS delivered here on Saturdays, but I went and signed up on the website for tracking alerts, and it currently says Saturday between 12:30 and 4:30. My truck usually comes later in the afternoon. I will get it together Saturday night for a Sunday maiden. I should also have a cameraman there to capture the flight on video.

                                  Seems I came down with a nasty bug this afternoon. A quick google to WebMD suggested a drive to the UPS store at the border was the proper cure.

                                    The build shop is not large enough for two Hawgs. Going to have to take over the dining room. Don't tell my wife I have expanded from the basement.
