A post office card left yesterday was exchanged for a large cardboard box which I loaded into the car and scooted for home. It was the Canadair 415 water bomber, a bit ahead of schedule having been ordered from the international warehouse which usually takes a little longer, so there must have been a tailwind.
I've yet to unbox it, having just extracated it from its plain cardboard armour, but a brief inspection of the extra goodies I'd ordered came with a sharp pang of disappointment, the ESC's come with no connectors. On either end. That means five wires having to be soldered by mister useless. For each ESC, this being a twin-engined plane.
Fortunately I have two spare XT60 plugs, however no bullet connectors for the motor. So that means a trip to one of the local hobby shop for some overpriced parts...
