Hey everyone . the long awaited day has come . the prototype was delivered to my house via UPS .I took a few pics as I unwrapped it . The guys at airborne models tell me the packaging will match the production models so this will give everyone a good idea as to what will show up in the mail when you order one . The airplane came inside of 2 double layer boxes with a layer of 1/2 inch foam lining the inside of the inner box . Every piece of foam was carefully wrapped in foam and neatly placed in the box . Every small piece was bagged .Very impressed and they do a much better job than I could . Here are some pictures .

    Rory ,

     this prototype is made of some type of polystyrene foam that has been CNC cut. the production units will be molded EPO .

     for those of you that are seeing the techpod for the first time , this is a prototype of this design

    the guys at airborne models have made this to prove the design before I have them make the aluminum molds for making this out of EPO . I need to come up with $40,000 for the first batch . looking at kickstarter or similar to help me get there . they will retail for ~$200 .

    thank you for your support
