Badland Part 103 Pilots and Builders Forum

That is what it cost Peer to ship all 3 boxes to him from WVa. I did ship it USPS insured so that added to the cost. I think shipping weight on the engine was 67 lbs by itself.

I got a rough price via the calculator on the UPS Freight site. However Chris just informed me that a 303 was shipped from MN to KY for $85. Naturally I'll do more research.

Looks like it will be closer to 75 pounds.

I know its very irritating to have issues that you can't seem to get worked out. Peer's 303 ran great when I had it but it was just too light. I just bought a rebuilt 503 to put in the Mountain Cat. It's a pretty simple engine that I am familiar with. The Polini is still a basic engine but it a tighter package due to the electronics involved, and that makes it complicated. And the less than stellar instructions don't help matters.

My engine was factory-new in the welded tubular steel shipping frame. However, it had the wrong size rubber shock mounts; several incorrect size hose clamps (and not enough of them); a miss-manufactured prop hub nut; a faulty CDI, and a wierd taped-up wiring harness (wrapped in several feet of black electrical tape covering the bayonet connectors).

I really believe my singke ignition 303 was cobbled together at the Polini factory. I hope London can get it running.
