OMG, don't open it. You should have refused the delivery.
Maybe two boxes are needed for this expensive cargo.

HOLY BALLZZZZZZ. I thought my package was bad. lol
I Just recieved it last week from Kopterworx. There was a freaking hole down the side of the box. Luckily everything was there (Except the landing gear, 2 motor mounts, and approx 20 screws). Kopterworx feels the missing parts were the fault of Droidworx, and they are sending me out the missing parts asap. So I dont think it was the packages fault. I was a little concerned because this package had approx $7k of electronics and such. Kopterworx did a great job packing it and everything was in its individual boxes, wrapped up nice in bubble wrap.
In your situation, I would open the box while recording it on video. That way if something is damaged, you will have proof and can quickly get it handled. On the other hand, If nothing is broke or missing, then you will not be out weeks of having to wait. I would open it and see. It may all be OK.

Hi Dan,
as I wrote you in the last email, this is NOT a problem. The motors are in a very strong plastic tube and will not be destroyed or un-balanced.
I've done some tests with the plastic tubes and they will not bend or damaged when the parcel is badly damaged.
so please open the parcel and have fun with the motors.

Here is the picture with the tubes:

Hey guys, Dirk is correct...

That is a tough container! The method of packing them in the box had a lot to do with them surviving the shippers olympics too. Good job Dirk and thanks for the extra care in packing, it obviously was worth it.
I'm also very glad to see the shorter prop shaft as well. That should limit the "hangar rash". Now, all I need is the airframe, retracts, gimbal, and speed controller to arrive.

Just came home from a few days in London and found my package with the Pletty 15-20 waiting for me. Good thing Dirk packages them so well because the fine people working at the post office played football with my box.
I will post some pictures in my build thread later on since all of my parts except picloc have arrived.
DKTek are you talking about the SJ 8 frame? If so I have mine for almost a month and a half sitting on my desk.

Yes, I paid for the SkyJib8 on Sept. 14 and the Aerodrive 8 on Oct. 5.
It's a shame as I have a job with Tom Hanks in North Florida on the 15th of January thru the 28th. The DP owns a custom 100 pound payload electric heli set up for the RED 3D system and is hoping to use the SJ8 as well for various shots. We are shooting from a boat with our Wescam XR.
Oh well, maybe next time... as a Wescam Operator/Tech, I have over 100 major feature films under my belt since 1994, a few more won't hurt without the SJ8.

As a tester and distributor i can say there were onl few test/prototype pieces. Aerodrone board will come out in middle/end January. Skyjib is on stock at distributors for 1 month.

Yeah, I would've gone that route had I had time. Doesn't matter though as I still have no confirmation that an SJ8 has been shipped.
Maybe I should have chosen the CS8 instead. At least I'd have a flying solution right now. Customers are already flying those...
If I ordered a CS8 today, I bet it'd be here by the time I get home on the 28th.

Actually, it was ordered from Geoff. I received an email from him this morning with confirmation and a reasonable explanation with a resolve.

OK, I just received an email from Sandor. Here's what they have to say,
"We have recived the first finish board on Friday, and the test was ok. In the next two weeks we will send all Boards to the customer. Also yours.
The CarePlan we will relaise soon also the infos will send with the Newsletter. "
We'll see.....
