Whoo Hoo !!! The Parts Have Arrived !!!

This is going to be a very short post...

The Mail Lady ? ...  Post Woman...  ?  whatever, rang the bell this evening and had me sign for a package.  Straight from it's 3 week journey, my Hobby King order has arrived from HongKong.  Amazingly, the package sat in the HongKong Post Office for over a week after Hobby King shipped it.  It only took 2 days to get from HongKong to here via the USPS.

I have checked that everything is there and that nothing looks damaged.  The next step will be to test out each electrical/electronic component and make sure they all work.  Also, I plan to weigh each item so I can better estimate the exact All Up Weight (AUW), the entire weight of the Quad when it flies.
I have estimated from the manufacturers data that the Quad should weigh approx 1,000 grams.  When I actually weigh each item I will have a better idea.  I will also weigh the completed Quad.

Hopefully tomorrow I will make a short video showing all the components spread out on a table so you can see exactly what I received.

That's all for now...
