We arrived with the kit back in Iowa City just after midnight on Saturday (28MAR). At 10AM on Saturday we were tearing the crate open to start unpacking. The fuselage is being kept in a loft at the airport since our garage has no room for such things. RANS packed and crated everything exceptionally well and nothing seems to be damaged. It took a while to get the crate open, but once we did it was quick to get the fuselage unloaded and put away. After that, we set off towards the house to unload the rest of the kit.
After unloading we took a break for lunch and my father-in-law helped inventory the kit. The packing list was 17 pages long and it took us about one hour to inventory the large pieces and 2 hours to inventory one box that held a lot of smaller pieces. In all we were only missing two items. There are now airplane parts strategically placed in three different areas of the house.
Here are some pictures of the whole process.
