    If you run into any problems, this site is a great help. I’m not far from Portland and am available also.
    Thank you, Joe! Yes I can use all the help I can get for sure.

    The build quality of the kits now are so much better under John and Debbra's leadership.

    Enjoy your build! I will be following along.

    Cheers!
    Yes they were very helpful loading my truck. It was pretty obvious they've done this before...

    Thanks, Ralph! The drive was easier than I thought. I got home that day around 7pm too. And that was with the cruise control set at speed limits all the way...

    I picked my kit up. Penske had the best deal, but Brandon thought the blankets were too thin. Harbor freight has them for a good price, so I grabbed about 7.

    @dactel, awesome!! I wish I could be in your position, picking up the kit, I guess to be able to one day be in your position I first have to purchase a kit .
    Just a newbie question, are those wings the "Quick Build Wings"?

    Once I got there, they pretty much loaded the truck for me. First the wings were strapped onto the side walls with some ratchet straps. (The fuel tanks had already been secured onto the wings.) Then the fuselage was screwed onto the floor. The rest was just a matter of loading boxes and other items.
