27/01/2013 - Arrived and Unpacked

Due to access at the new house it was decided that delivery was best made at Bob's factory.  It also meant having the use of a fork lift truck :-)  Its a fair size box....

Unpacking and getting to grips with the immaculate cowlings

The canopy and canopy struts

Brake callipers, wheel hubs and gear legs....lovely.

Underneath the canopy was the engine mount, spinner and a few other things!

I bought a few extras, so standby UMA speedo in Knots, and Cormant antennas for radio and transponder. I chose the underbelly bent whip variety.

Engine bolts, audio mixer, light dimmer and two red led interior lights.

Also arriving in the post was some parts from Jade Air.  A new upgraded canopy latch and some fuel drain fairings to go with the fuel vents I already had.  http://www.jdair.com/
