I have tracked it through China. Now on a United airplane with the USPS. So it has to cross the water then the States. Nothing but rain and high winds here since November 2018. Fortunately my shop and warehouse are big buildings. I can learn to fly it in them once I get it.

Nearly there - one day? Or two?

Then I want to see that shot when you fly between the moving wagons!

Have a look here in the meantime - I am sure this will be of interest.

Now it is in Stamford CT. They sent it north. I thought I might have it for the weekend but I don't think so now.
