My finish kit arrived today! \u00a0It came via FedEx freight in two days from Van’s. \u00a0I took a few pictures to document some minor crate damage in case there was any damage to the contents.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Here was one minor puncture. \u00a0Although small, it would have taken a pretty good hit to break through the plywood like this.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>The top on the other end had separated from the side, but the metal strapping and some screws had prevented it from opening very much.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>When I opened the end with the impact damage, I could see that one of the reinforcing pieces had pulled away from the side.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Once I got the top off, the first thing you see is the canopy and the aft edges of the cowling. \u00a0Nothing looks like it moved in transit.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>My buddy Andre stopped by and helped me inventory most of the kit and get the crate out of the garage. \u00a0Here is the canopy with the engine mount and gear legs under it. \u00a0I was surprised at just how light the engine mount is and just how heavy the gear legs are. \u00a0The engine mount is constructed of relatively thin walled steel tubing, but the gear legs are roughly 1″ diameter solid steel bars.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center>Here is the cowling with the two halves roughly fit together. \u00a0There will be a lot of work to make these fit together nicely.<\/p>\n
