He's been displaying some cool stuff on his web site and one
just caught my eye the other day. I sent him an email asking if he
had the product I was interested in stock, and he confirmed by email
promptly that it was. I ordered directly from his secure web site,
and then emailed him again and asked him to keep in touch as my order
progressed. I also warned him how rough the shipping carriers have
been to me lately. (A bad experience I had a few months ago that I
didn't share here). Alberto said he would pack it personally for
me, again, a prompt reply in email. He emailed me again on Saturday
that it had shipped, and I received it yesterday! 8-)
Man o man did he pack this plane. I am lucky he did such a nice job
too, the box containing the V tail stab looks like a door shut on it, but
do to the internal packing, not a scratch. The big box containing
everything else he hot glued a corrugated cardboard frame, perfectly
packed. Alberto went out of his way to make sure I would get my
product safe and sound, and I can't say enough important that is when you
are buying these types of models.
What did I buy, very cool, an Amethyst F3J, 3.41m wingspan, MH32 airfoil,
wt:1500grs (52.6 oz) Very similar looking to the Agate, (which I am
currently flying), probably the same fuse and stab mold, but sports an
MH32 with a slightly different planform instead of a 7037 like the Agate,
and has those extremely light wingtips.
Thanks again, Alberto!
P.S. Ya, Grandpa, the fuse has that big booty like the Agate.
