Anyone happen to know the measurements of the fuse box? I am not sure if it will fit in my explorer or if I need to take the trailer to pick up my plane. Taking the trailer will double the cost of fuel.

It wouldn't quite fit in my pickup with the tailgate closed so I would say about 80" to 82".

Congrats on the successful maiden Frank.

Man oh man...... A dream come true,,,, turns to serious frustration.

Get a phone call from the hobby shop that I ordered my Sukhoi from telling me it came in a day early. What? Seriously?? Fantastic news! So I scramble around at work, beg for some time off ( an hour early) and Drive to Witchita from Tulsa - 3 hours. I am so stoked. Pull into the hobby shop, meet the owner - super nice guy, even waited overtime for me to get there.... he closes at 6:30, I pull in at 7:05. He is a really neat gentleman. We introduce ouselves and continue to talk for about an hour and a half. I have a 3 hour drive back home in front of me so I ask him if we can get it loaded up. I thank him for his time and proceed to head home. As we load the boxes, I notice the words on 2 of the boxes Sukhoi 3.1m and I am stoked. All three boxes are in pretty good shape. The 4th box is the motor and all is well. I thought.

Three hour later I pull into the drive way, big grin on my face can't wait to get into the house. Unload everything and think, hmm weird. After looking at all the Sukhois you guys have unloaded... All three boxes say Sukhoi 3.1m. Only 2 of mine say that. The cowl box and the wing box. The fuse box has no such writing. Ah they overlooked stamping it at the factory.. no problem right? Still excited, I open the box and sit there slack jawed. My oh so beautiful 3.1m Sukhoi fuse turns out to be...... A 35% red, silver, and white Extra...... You gotta be F#$&#$^* Kidding me right? Oh man am I upset. There will be a fun phone call to Horizon as early as possible. Really?

What would you guys expect to happen? I really don't want to make the return trip to Witchita, You think there is anyway they will ship me the correct fuse to Tulsa?
