I'm going to send some pictures to the guy I've been dealing with at their US warehouse and see what he says. I agree it's the shipping company gorillas fault, XPO Logistics, but if they would have had a piece of cheap Masonite lining the box like they did on my Pilot Edge, the damage wouldn't have happened. One layer of cardboard just isn't enough.

Even the driver admitted the guys that work on the loading docks for his company aren't careful at all.

I did have one really good result with USPS damaging something. I bought a used but unflown Goblin helicopter off of Helifreak from a hobby shop, and when it got here the canopy was cracked in several places. I called the guy and he told me he would put in a claim. I figured that was the last I would ever hear of it. A few weeks later a brand spanking new Goblin canopy showed up in the mail.:)

I had forgotten about Steve Coleman in Portland. He is a really terrific guy and has helped me many times. I Revere him as Tony's mouthpiece in America. LOL. Get a hold of him and I would bet he will also be able to help you.

Do you think I could mount a bellcrank arm to the ply, I have one and could add it? The pic is from the manual.

If you are wanting to use just a bell crank with two servos linked together, I have exactly what you are looking for. It is a real nice aluminum tray for two standard size servos that would be connected together then the Bell crank. If you want it, it is yours free of charge. I will see if I can find a photo and post it.

Looks pretty nice. Check out the one that came with my new Pilot Decathlon. This is the first stock tank I've ever wanted to use before. Aluminum cap, brass fittings, brass line in the tank, and a filtered clunk. The fuel dot is pretty neat too, it's uses a magnet to hold the center in, not an O-ring.

I have that same fuel dot for my Extra. That fuel tank is sweet. Glad to see Pilot upping their game. Man I am very disappointed for you with the BS you got to put up with about the shipping carriers. Hope they make it right for you. I'm in the market for another Pilot Edge for a 70cc engine. Hope not to have the same issue when all is a go.

Not exactly the postman...but something followed me home today.
You guys are a bad influence and started this with the Timber/Tundra discussion a few weeks ago.
Couldn’t resist when I found this slightly used (as in 8 whole flights) Flex Innovations Cessna 170 near me.

If you like this plane you really like the new one that was introduced at JoeNall. There was a lot of people looking at and there were always a small crowd around the plane, I think they called it the Timber XL
