[RCSE] Good news /bad news :)

[John McCloskey]

Got my Compulsion from Mr. Fred Sage Thursday ! It's everything that I'd hoped for and more . The fit,finish and quality of work is first rate . Delivery was as promised . I'm looking forward to flying it. That's the good news . The bad news is that Fed Ex are no longer on my Christmas list :) It seems that they wanted to stress test the shipping container ,and in the process creased both wings . I gotta say that I was heart broken when I saw the damage, but what the heck ..... The guy from Fed Ex will be here in the A.M. to help sort things out (hopefully ). I should get a new set of wings in 3-4 weeks . It seems a shame that Mr. Sage has to go to all that trouble ,and we both have to deal with Fed EX 's claims service ,because of some uncaring idiot . No Christmas cards for you guys !!!!!   As an aside,I have a couple of questions . The pushrods are CF ,the clevises attachments are made by gluing them to the pushrods . Is epoxy preferable to Ca ? The stab joiners are CF . I've used CF wing rods,but not stab joiners . Are there any special considerations in regards to their care ? (they look pretty delicate ).                                                              All the best , John
