My quickbuild fuselage arrived today. That is one big box. $1039 shipping to Ohio
although for some reason Roadway didn't ask me for the money before I left.
I suppose I will still pay them.
Given the size of the bix and no way to get off the truck at my house, I opted
to go get it with a 12' flat bed uhaul trailer. When the Roadway fork truck drivers
looked at the box and at my trailer they shook their head and said "No way".
They weren't even sure they could get it off the dock level onto the ground
down their small ramp from the dock. I assured them given they had never loaded
an aircraft before the technical challenge was both theirs for the asking
and accomplishing it would be something they could tell their grandchildren.
Needless to say in about 10 minutes I had the box with about 4' hanging off the
end of the trailer ready to head home. They even supplied a red tape to hang
off the back to wave off the luney drivers from hitting the box.
The fuselage is now sitting in my basement and the massive amounts of wood from
the crate secured in a dumpster (I had no conceivable use for that much thin
plywood). I did save all the 2x4s and two sheets of the nicest plywood.
On to the inventory.
another great benefit- we like wines so rather then go to the Napa valley again
for vacation we are heading to the Willamette Valley in Oregon to do a week of
wine tasting and sight seeing. Guess whose factory is in the valley and may
just have to be visited during the trip. Don't let on. My wife might think this
vacation isn't just for her.

Just another thought on this, I now use 8 oz hot-drink cups from Costco.
They appear to have a plastic liner but it is probably polyethylene and
does not cause any problem. My problem with the waxed cups was probably
exacerbated by my using a fast-cure epoxy which heated up in my hot
garage.
