Thanks to the kindness of dhbarr, I got a rocket yesterday!
Mailing the entire Partizon kit he intended wasn't possible with the heavy duty boxes he had, however he did manage to fit two body tubes, the fins, instructions, parachute and shock cord, along with a spare 38mm motor tube!
Here's what I could have built with what was sent...
After the people who were entrusted to get this to me were done with it.... Here's what I can build
I don't blame dhbarr for his packing, the rocket was packed in two heavy duty cardboard boxes, but the side with the fincan's body tube apparently was mistaken for something you could safely sit on or something.
The upside... I'VE GOT A ROCKET I CAN BUILD!!! (Once I can locate (and afford to buy): glue, epoxy, sandpaper, and paint)
My plans are to make it in such a way that it can be extended once I can get a replacement for the damaged tube, and perhaps restore it to a full length Partizon.
Thanks David!

I don't know if it was labeled as glass that they'd take any more caution with it.

Chinese addresses work from the larger area to the smaller:
Country, Province, City, District, Road, Building Number, Floor, Unit/Apartment Number
If you want to make sure that the intended gets it. It must have a phone number to a Mandarin speaker. No phone number = No way of reaching the intended party, no delivery, and no return.
