It's here!!!!
No amount of preparation can make you ready for the moment that you first set eyes on the crate that contains physical parts of an aircraft that you will build and someday fly.
Minor snag: Turns out the crate was slightly damaged in shipping, but
the driver was very nice about documenting its condition,
and stuck around to make sure the contents were complete and undamaged,
which indeed they were.
The damaged area of the crate was right in front of all the fiberglass parts, shown here still wrapped in their packing paper. There was no damage at all to anything inside the crate-- it was very well packed!
The contents of the RV-10 empennage kit... here is the tailfeather of my future bird! :-)
A few hours of inventory later, I had everything checked off from the packing list and split up into the main subcomponents (which I found to be very different than the "subkits" that the parts are packaged in): Vertical Stab, Rudder, Horizontal Stab, Elevator, and Tailcone.
