Here it is, sitting on the living room floor. Can't wait to get this thing opened up!
Sebastian put the arms into a couple of FedEx padded envelopes, complete with motors and props installed. A few of the props penetrated the padded envelope. Hope they weren't damaged!
The arms are in good shape, the props do not appear to be bent or anything. Sebastian has labeled the arms for easy assembly.
All three of these penetrated the bag but also do not appear to be bent up. Time will tell.
Everything else is wrapped up together in bubble wrap. Gonna have to peel it apart like an onion to get the goodies out!
At the top of the stack is the top plate, GPS antenna facing down into the pile.
A quick look shows that the top plate and antenna is okay. A handy Post-It tells me where the arms will go.
Cutting away the bubble wrap to free up the rest of the hexacopter.
This also looks none the worse for wear, no obvious damage to the gimbal and no broken solders that I can see. Looks like a nice build.
The transmitter is pretty tightly wrapped in bubble wrap. I'm just going to cut the stuff away with a pair of scissors to free it.
The transmitter looks better than it did in the advertisement photo. It survived the trip just fine - no broken switches and the sticks feel fine.
My OCD is satisfied - I have the original box for the frame!
Inside this box is a whole bunch of stuff - I will sort that all out later.
It's all unpacked now, time to take it upstairs to my work bench and clean up all of these peanuts before my wife sees the mess!
