Wow! You're jumping right in!

Interesting thoughts on the packing. Having only built a few small kits and one short kit, I wouldn't have thought anything of the scrap. But you're right - on a bird this size that would account for a lot of the packing space & weight. That said, shipping from Holman wasn't unreasonable.

Now, the retracts from Robart... That is another story! FedEx dinged me to the tune of $200 for brokerage, duty and banditry. I sent Robart and email about that and suggested they find another way to ship outside the US. To their credit they replied and indicated they were willing to use other methods if asked.

Thanks for taking this on, Dave!
