More Aloft great service

Hi Wayne.
Thanks for the quick e mail response. I am back in and placed my order. Thanks so much!

It is a happy day when a 52-inch long box from Aloft Hobbies arrives.
A pair of beautiful Topmodel PRELUDE fuselages for a winter dual-build project were inside.
Along with factory-made tail parts and the factory bell cranks for full-flying horizontal stab.

WONDERFUL careful packing to keep the precious contents safe. Thank you very much.
Looks to me like a custom made shipping box. Truly cool.

I just go one of @Doc J planes from aloft and it was packed really reall well. @Wayne are you guys still doing custom boxes with the cnc or by hand?
Always fast packing and shipping.

@G-man any chocolates in that package! My daughter always comes and raids my shipments. She has been trained to know whats coming lol
 
Oh yes, in spades. Toblerone bars. One or each fuselage. /s
Swiss chocolate, you know.
I have read that the Matterhorn in the Alps served as inspiration for the bar shape.

Don't think the Toblerone came from us. LOL

Yes, we will often times make a custom shipping box on our CNC router. We find the boxes we make hold up much better than the pre made boxes, but it costs us a lot of time and money to make them. :( Cardboard is nearly as expensive as plywood these days.

Dave, I think your buddy Don M. is also building up a Prelude project. His parts just shipped out. :cool:
