That corsair is looking good

Got The Package Today 2.20 pm and just now got around to opening it , just an overview for now tired and hungry now The scout looks good ,but I am going to have to start with some glue on BBR the wing got the bad deal in shipping // some how got some weight on it where the fuse was and made a nice crack down the length .. But is an easy fix . Will open it up alittle later . Thanks Roger it looks perfect.  Cant wait to get started on it !!        Eric    American Made !

Sorry to hear that Eric. That one went ups.  You would think as well packed as it was and what it costs to ship plus the face that it had a fragile sticker on it that it would get there safely. I hope the le and te for the scout got there ok

Let me know if I need to cut you any new pieces

apone more inspection it was USPS that caused the damage       pm sent FRAGLE DONT MEAN SQUAT !!

I WILL CHECK THE SCOUT IN THE MORNING stupid cap lock Eric

Mine showed up today! Very nice looking kit Roger. I thought I saw somewhere, we owed you a few more bucks for shipping.

thanks duke! yea... between all the extra stuff i threw in and the box, it ended up being in the $10 range for shipping so if you could shoot me another $5

roger.

Will do, should happen today. I still have your hotmail and will send it via paypal.

Mine arrive and the way Rodger packed it no way even the idiots at fedEx could not have hurt it

No, did not come FedEx, but they are the guys who I know can crush a solid metal shipping carton like it was a freaking challenge...smile, grrrr

Wish I had asked for two as this looks like a good build for me and the grandson when he matures past the 5 year old short attention span age

100+ dog days are here now, so this project may get done well before the RM flyathon as my first ever attempt to add to the fun of that weekend

Well this got here without a problem thank God Roger has put soooo much time and work into it and it shows . Very Nice Kit and drawing from a pile of papers . Thanks RogermHarris I really want to get started on this model but,, I am thinking the fall of the year for I am Slammed with jobs and the regular hurts and Pains Eric

THANK-YOU Roger! Just received and opened up my Bipe. WOW, your attention to detail is amazing. Heat shrink sealed parts bags, moisture absorbing desiccant bag to prevent warping....not to mention the precision laser cut pieces. This is really cool. The box and packaging was also supurb. The ends were wrinkled like an accordion, but the contents were cushined by the bubble wrap and escaped being damaged.

Whoa!   I missed that post, somehow, somewhere.  I searched for it and found where Roger had posted the decal set for the Bipe!   That alone is worth the $5!!! Pal-pay is on its way.....thanks Roger.

I think the kit is well worth the money, but I forgot to put the money in my paypal account, stupid.  I even went to the bank today for money to buy two 4x8' pieces of coroplast on the way home. Stupid.  I'm afraid of how its going to be when I get even older.  I need to make a note to remember the stupid note. Jeez.

I'm not going to use the decals, but its really cool Roger made them.  I have the same paint scheme on all my ringmasters. This will be my first RM bipe, their are several out there. I have the Beginner, Baby, Jr., and S-1 size.

No worries duke. I have forgotten all week to cut a firewall for my veto scout
I figured I would post the decals so that it anyone was using the pilot and or machine gun you would have a decal that would fit. Can't wait to see what all the bipe look like!
I sure have had fun building and flying mine..

I forgot about the little pilot decal. I'll use that for sure

Well I expect my kit's trip across the ocean to taker a bit longer, but I'm sure looking forward to them getting here.  Getting two kits- one for now and one for later, or maybe a different engine set-up.  Think I have in mind to attach the BW I won in the Tach Race.  The other one may get a Testors 8000.  Will be good to compare performance.
It's the middle of winter here and it's pretty cold (not for some of you guys ) so by 4pm I'm eager to get inside in front of the fire- the workshop gets pretty chilly at night.

Roger, I expect the international shipping, even with the "export" modification, was more than you quoted, so let me know.

Should bee a lot of fun and very capable with a black widow. Mine performs well with a well worn baby bee when running strong. Sure hope they get to you ok. They went first class mail. $5 more is all I'm asking for. The extra weight of the package is all my extras I threw in..

Hard to imagine winter in Australia. What do you consider cold Rod??
