what comes in the box?

a whole bunch of plastic baggies, each numbered and filled with random heli parts.

someone asked me why i decided to build up a helicopter, instead of a pre-built one... aside from the constant need to punish myself, i guess i wanted to have the tactile feedback and frustration of realizing that i forgot to put in a washer... 10 steps ago.

that, and i didn't have enough money budgeted to buy the pre-built version, plus the parts for the XP upgrade.

one last thing, what's with the XP designation? did micro$oft have something to do with this?
