Questions for this shipment: 

Question: This is not in it's own trailer ? (4/20/2006)
Response: No it is not on a trailer (4/20/2006)
Question: Couldn't this be put on a flatbed and towed behind a truck. Seems like it would be small and light to haul? (4/21/2006)
Response: yes it could be put on a flatbed. Total weight less than 1200 lbs. It would need to be covered, and smaller parts and wings secured. (4/21/2006)
Question: Well I am going to be heading out that way to drop off a horse cart and will be within about 85 miles of you, I could bring a flatbed trailer and haul it for you if your willing to pay a deposit on pickup for fuel..gas is killing us all. What price range were you hoping to stay in? (4/21/2006)
Response: Thanks for responding. What is your final destination? I could meet you with my trailer. I could also meet you at the hanger to load and secure plane. I was looking to stay in the 1500.00 range. What is your time frame? (4/21/2006)
Question: So I would be using your trailer? I will be heading back to michigan after I drop off the horse cart. Was thinking I could pick this up for you and drop it off but it does leave me deadheading back to michigan as there is not one load or anything I can tow back from your dropoff which leaves me running emtpy for about 750 miles. If these fuel prices keep going up no one will be going anywhere. I would have to push some numbers but I am thinking I could do this for you for just under 2,000. I will be out west around may 2nd. Let me know your thoughts on this. Dave Potter (4/22/2006)
Response: Hi DAve. You would be picking up on your trailer. I can meet you at the pick up point to help load and secure plane. I was offering to meet you at your destination for the horse cart and offload to my trailer, though I would prefer to have you bring it all the way here.Your bid looks good from here if this plan works for you. (4/22/2006)
Question: i've a 20' flatbed, is this long enough & how soon can it be pick up. also, whhat is your target price ? thanks, larry (4/22/2006)
Response: Hi Larry; The plane is 22 ft. It would go on a 20' flatbed with a little overhang. Target price 1700.00 (4/22/2006)
Question: Well I am taking the cart to CA so I could meet you and we can load this on my trailer and I could bring it back for you. I just need to get this trip set. I am helping out a friend by bringing the cart to CA so bringing your load back would offset my cost for fuel. Let me know. Dave (4/23/2006)
Response: Dave, Is this bid still active? I'd like you to do the job if you still want it. (4/23/2006)
Question: Hi, as much as I would love to move this plane, which I think would have been fun to do, my friend I was taking the cart to out there has up and sold it which he was giving me 800.00 to bring it out so now coming out there to move the plane for you would put me into paying about 7 or 800.00 out of my pocket to do. If I can find any reason to head out there, I would love the vacation, I will try to let you know. Dave (4/27/2006)
Response: Hi Dave; Any chance of another shipping opportunity going to California to replace the cart? Let me know if anything changes. (4/27/2006)
Question: Hi i'm going to be taking 2 Dinosaurs to Tex then home to NJ then a trip to Cal.if intrested i will keep u informed i will be using an 18' open trailer $2300, check my feed back . Thanks Indian (4/27/2006)
Response: O.K. Keep me posted on your schedule. Any rough idea? (4/27/2006)
Question: Hi i'm leaving this mon 27, home by friday 5 or 6 an put trip together, will stay in touch. thanks Indian (4/27/2006)
Question: Yes, I am tring to see if there is another load heading out there which I could replace the cart with. It hurts due to the cost of travel and the cart was funds up front which was the fuel for the whole trip. I will keep in contact if I can find a few small things to offset the cost of the trip. Thanks..Dave (4/28/2006)
Response: o.k. (4/28/2006)
Question: do you think this plane will fit inside a 24 foot enclosed car hauler, I am working on a load to LA and might be able to help you out with this if I can get these bikes out to LA. Thanks Tony (4/30/2006)
Response: Hi Tony; Yes it should fit. Plane is 22' long. (4/30/2006)
Question: Your post says its 6'6" in height, is this a good measurment or an about measurment? and would $2300 be something that you can do?Tony (5/1/2006)
Response: Hi Tony; With the engine mount removed, total height is 5'6". What is your time frame for pickup-delivery. I think we could work with the 2300.00. It's more that we'd like to spend. Depends on the time frame. Thanks J.Alden (5/1/2006)
Question: Thanks for writing back, I should know by the weekend if I can do this for you and maybe even do a little better on the 2300. I will let you know whats going on but if someone can do ASAP let them handle it as its not fair to them or anyone else. Thanks Tony (5/4/2006)
Question: Are you still looking to move this plane? I will have a answer for you by the weekend but need to know if still looking to move so I can plan my trip. I would be there by next weekend if everything works out, please let me know. Tony (5/4/2006)
Response: Hi Tony; Yes, still looking to move the plane. Let me know how your schedule is looking. (5/4/2006)
Question: I can be there on the 17th to pick up your plane, I am going to be leaving here on Friday and heading to California, if this is OK let me know and accept my bid so we can then talk and I can fill you in on the time frame better. Thanks Tony, but please do it asap so I can tell the person here in NY that I am going to take there car from here. (5/6/2006)
Question: Sorry change of dates I meant to say 18 or 19th. Tony (5/7/2006)
Question: I had to cancel my bid because someone else accepted my bid for my return trip home, I waited as long as I could to hear from you but had to take this other shipment when it became up for bid. Sorry and hope all works out well for you. Tony (5/7/2006)

Question: We are commercial boat haulers fully licensed and insured. We have a 53' boat trailerwe pull behind a Freightliner. Check out our Uship profile we are coastalboathaul. We are on our way into CA as I write to deliver a Uship boat to Redondo Beach. I s this plane ready to go? (5/22/2006)
Response: Yes the plane is ready to go. There are loose parts with the plane. Wings, engine, struts, cowling,some misc. parts. Would you have ability to load and safely secure? (5/22/2006)
Question: I see that you still are looking to move your plane, can this plane be rolled into my enclosed trailer to load it. Also there would be room for the other parts as well. Let me know as I am making another trip out west next week then headed back here to NY. Tony (5/22/2006)
Response: Hi Tony. Yes it can be rolled on it landing gear into the trailer. The previous owner of the plane is away from the loading location till May 31. The move could not be done till he returns. If that works with your schedule, your earlier bid still works for me. (5/22/2006)
Question: This sounds good to me, I am working on taking a car out to California next week so your date would work out great. I will keep you updated as to when I am headed that way but like before if someone else can do before me please let them do it as its not fair to them or you. Tony (5/22/2006)
Response: Tony; If you want it, it's all yours. When you have a rough idea on your schedule let me know (5/22/2006)
Question: Wow, I am sorry it has been so hard to get this moved. My long trailer was stolen so until I can buy another one these longer progects will have to be put off. I will be in CA at the first of next week. Too bad there is not another way for you to get a trailer for this. Sorry..Dave (6/2/2006)
Response: Hi Dave; Sorry to hear your trailer is gone. Do you have anything that would do the job? (6/2/2006)
Question: i'm driving to truro Mass. on June 28th from Laramie Wy. I can take it from here if you can get it this far. (6/4/2006)
Response: Thanks; If something turns up to get it to Wyoming, I'll let you know (6/4/2006)
Question: Do you still need this shipped???? (6/6/2006)
Response: Yes; Still looking (6/6/2006)
Question: I see you still have this plane to move, I might be coming to California in a week or two so was wondering if you would like me to move it. I dont want to commit to this load out to California if your plane would not be there for me to bring back so thats why I am asking. Thanks and let me know (6/7/2006)
Response: Hi Tony; Yes we would like you to move it. Do you still have the 24' enclosed trailer? (6/7/2006)
Question: still have the enclosed trailer but now the load out is "THINKING ABOUT IT" so we shall see. as soon as I hear I will let you know so hang in there I am trying. (6/8/2006)
Question: How are you doing with this plane, still looking to move it. I might have a load going to WA state but to get to you in California its almost a 1000 mile ride so just seeing if it would be a doable thing for me to ride that far since it would cost me 300.00 in fuel to deadhead that far, let me know if its still there and then maybe we could work something out. Thanks (6/14/2006)
Response: Ya Tony; Haven't moved it yet. Let me know if you're interested. ' (6/14/2006)
Question: Someone asked me to move a car for them to Washington State after the 26th, but then to get to you is around another 300.00 in fuel so maybe we can split it or something if this car deal works out. I should know more in a day or two and will let you know what is up. Besides these fuel prices are killing everyone right about now so thats why I hate to drive to far looking for a load to return home but like I said I will let you know whats up. Thanks for writing back (6/14/2006)
Response: o.k. (6/14/2006)
Question: News update, I am looking to be out there on the west coast the first week of July so if this looks good let me know, I am almost 100% positive that this car is going to Washington then I could come down to California for you and your plane like we talked about on the fuel thing. If still looks OK let me know and as soon as I know more I will let you know. Just trying to keep you updated. Thanks (6/16/2006)
Question: Ok I am taking a car out to Washington so I will pick up your plane for the trip back, if you can do the half fuel thing then we can do this around the 2nd or 3rd of July. I will make my bid today and when you accept it we will have each others contact info and I will call you to get any other info needed. Thanks (6/16/2006)
Question: Is this still available for shipping? dadams9746 (6/17/2006)
