My order from Estes was shipped the morning after I placed it, arrived in three days - CO to OH. Maybe the USPS is FINALLY back on track. The ANTAR kit is well done - nice parts, very solid, thick balsa in my kit, good looking decals, looks to be a fun, easy build but a bear of a paint scheme, the masking and decal placement will definitely be a challenge! I’ll be using Chris Michielssen’s blogposts to get the paint as close as I can - though the forest green in the scheme may turn into dark orange 😉 Thought about changing mine to 24mm power but I’ll just use a QJet if I feel the need for more altitude.

The only thing I tolerate being shipped USPS is motors.
The $37 fee for motors thru UPS or FedEx is nothing but a RIPOFF the govt allows them to charge as a haz-mat fee. They do not have to charge that fee. It's a big can of SCAMULATION.

Many years ago someone shipped rocket motors labeled "model aircraft parts" until discovered.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I LIKED THAT SHIPMENT METHOD along with the "ride the boot" attitude it conveyed to the gubmint "shipping cops"
