The crate arrived today after a couple of adventures. Zenith shipped on May 24th and shortly thereafter the weather turned horrible. I got a notice of a 'weather delay' on my crate and waited to hear if it went flying without me. However, it arrived in NH on 06/01, and my house on 6/04. The second worry was the forklift puncture at the water line of the crate. (See photo). The fork did travel into the crate however, the only damage was a destroyed corner of the packing list envelope and a small tear to the paper cover of one skin. I think I have a lucky aircraft! Now for the inventory...

Great news, Brad! The adventure begins. Keep us posted as you make the journey.
Brad is a neighbor of mine so I need to get over there and check out the new arrival.
Good Luck
