Got a HUGE box in today from Northeast Sailplane Products. My Omega 2.5 has arrived. Here's some photos from the unboxing:

Fuselage. Gel-coated fiberglass.

The assembled V-tail. SUPER light!

The wing panels. Again, amazingly light! And huge. A little over 49" each.

The bag-o-hardware. Control horns, pushrods, clevises, and the like.

The running gear. Servos, motor, ESC, BEC, etc, etc.
Well, I'll start the build...soon. This is pretty intimidating, as it's very, very different from the ultra-simple powered ARFs I'm used to. All the linkage is completely foreign to me, and there's a lot of cutting, drilling, and the like that needs done, that you never have to do on the powered ARFs.
Hopefully I'll get through it and get this amazing bird in the air.
