Now to wait. I will report back when I get it.

Cool, I think the rain is over for the near future, so we can have a good time playing with it. I'll have the Li'l Satan all prettied up, we can fly it with the RR1.

Boy Rusty, if we only had transporter technology.
You would probably have quite a crew attending the service.
Sounds like a blast. bounce

If we had transporter tech, I would deliver it by hand! ^_^

That would be too cool, I wish we could all gather for a fly-in, I'd love to meet everybody in real life.
But if we had transporter tech, kids might be building models of Heisenberg compensators.

Still waiting. bounce

oh for Jesus, don't tell me you guys lost it

shell shock Thu May 31, 2012 7:44 pm

no.. I sent it *puzzled* hmm, stuck in customs maybe?

microflitedude Thu May 31, 2012 9:23 pm

If it does not make it through the mail, I would be more than happy to replace it. But it would not be the same.

Do you ever recall getting a pink slip in the mail? I know when there are customs deals, I sometimes get those slips that tells me to go to the post office and pick it up.

I got one once before, but that was a while ago for something else.

anyway, hopefully it will show up.

I have to say, that's a pretty unique idea using the prop. Certainly cool and probably more miles on that prop than any other model airplane. Ken

**RknRusty** Sat Jun 02, 2012 7:29 am

Maybe it will come in the mail today. I can't believe it would disappear on the way to Columbia, of all places.

**Admin** Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:25 pm

If it ever shows up, lets get a tracking number next time.

GermanBeez Mon Jun 04, 2012 2:28 pm

i'd say! i was wondering where it was, it's been a long time...i still hope it arrives in time for the special thing i've planned for it Neutral

**RknRusty** Mon Jun 04, 2012 3:03 pm

Man, this is terrible. Everyone signed the card and left their own special marks. I hated the thought of it ever getting broken, but lost really bites.

**Admin** Mon Jun 04, 2012 3:09 pm

Wait a few days and maybe we may have to do something about it. http://www.ehow.com/how_4443755_recover-package-lost-mail.html

Since it is going from Canada, we should contact both.

More info from the US Customs site:

Canada post will have to do a tracer on it to see if it ever went into the customs facility. There should be a customs number generated at the time of shipping. Usually printed on the reciept. At least it is on the USPS reciepts I have that went international.

That's good news!

shell shock Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:21 pm

your telling me! I felt a rock in my stomach for the last week or so! I didn't want to be the one responsible for ending the travailing prop!

crankbndr Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:22 pm

Wonder if some kind of sniffer smelled the nitro. Wow.

shell shock Mon Jun 04, 2012 5:30 pm

Methinks that the box might have had some fertilizer residue from my hands.

dckrsn Mon Jun 04, 2012 6:07 pm

That's great to hear.
Hope the Canada Post guys signed
the log, they had it long enough.
Glad it's on the move again. Beer Cheers

Oh,....... and lay off the fertilizer Mike.
