I'm joining a bunch of ruffians doing a 2017 winter group build-along of the Mountain Models EVA (Extremely Versatile Aircraft). http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?30782-Balsa-Forum-Fall-Build-Along
While the official start is on December 1st, I'm starting the unboxing of parts now cause I'm impatient.
The EVA platform comes in three flavors that all share a common fuselage and just switch out wings between the Sport, 3D, and Biplane configurations. I'm going with the EVA Sport for my build http://www.mountainmodels.com/product_info.php?products_id=215
The kit arrived in four days from Wisconsin to Virginia - and Brian at MM was extremely helpful in correcting a mistake I made in the order so I have the right components on hand.
The box took a little beating on one end from the trip
But was well protected on the inside with stiff paper and air bags
And inside are the pretty rolls of covering, trim, and plane parts
The fuselage and wing kits are bundled separately, but very securely
The only damage sustained in transit is a ding in the spoil section of one piece of balsa - no parts harmed at all!
I've got the electronics on order from Heads Up Hobby - expected arrival in just a couple days.
Also in this thread are build along pictures and some excellent tips from Try-n-glide starting around post #141
