Response: I am flexible on pick up and drop off. It dosn't have to be delivered to my residence. I can pick up anywhere in Houston, Tx.. (7/5/2007)

Response: It looks like spruce? I can transport it for 2K + Uship charges. Thanks qualitytransport. (7/7/2007)

Response: It is spruce. By the way, will it be covered transportation? (7/8/2007)

Response: Transporting a project in the works like this always has so many varibles. To secure it properly a large open trailer would give almost unlimited access to the pieces for strapping and securing. This combined with cover as necessary, and a plan to transport in good weather would be my suggestion. I have handled many disassembled aircraft through the years. I am also a builder. Thanks. (7/9/2007)

Response: I agree, however, the wings getting slightly wet would destroy them and project would be worthless. What would you recommend to prevent moisture and is insurance available?? Michael (7/9/2007)

Response: There are so many ways to approach this, with the main difference being cost. If the transport was made when the weather was going to be absolutely arid, all would be fine. One would have to take into account the humidity and dew point, as dew will have the same effect as rain. I am experienced, diligent, flexible, and wise when it comes to transporting these project aircraft. If you decide to accept my bid I will do what ever it takes to get this airplane to you in pristine undamaged condition. Thanks. (7/9/2007)

Response: You got the dimensions correct. I have not purchased the plane yet but might by monday. I will let you know. Thanks (7/5/2007)

Response: I would be very interested in hauling for you. Just let me know and I will post a formal bid. Thank you. Tooldad (7/6/2007)

Response: Thanks. As of today I have not purchased the plane and am finding out if shipping or picking it up myself was practical. (7/7/2007)

Response: Dave, Thanks for the response. Dates are flexable and the deminsions are 23.5ft wingspan and the fuseelage is 9 ft at its tallest point. .5 ft wide at its widest.. (7/9/2007)

Response: Hi! Thanks For Your Quick Reply! What Are Dimensions (LengthxWidthxHeight)& Weight(Pounds) Of Each Piece When Dissambled? Can Pieces Be Stacked? Please Let Me Know Right Away! Thanks! Dave (7/9/2007)

Response: YES, I like your interest in the project eventhough you do not have covered transportation. It will work. Need your available dates. Michael (7/14/2007)

Response: Michael. I have been out on a job for a few days. My schedule is constantly evolving. I can create an open slot for you before the end of this month or very early next month. If you accept my bid we can exchange contact info and discuss the best time for all parties involved. Homebuilt planes, are a passion of mine, and I treat them as such. I know how critical proper care is for spruce wings, and airframes. Thanks Qualitytransport (7/14/2007)

Response: Create a slot! I guess I have to accept your bid and we proceed from there? The location in New York is the pickup point and his only bad days are 22-26 july and 5-6 aug. Lets do it! (7/15/2007)

Response: Hi, accept my bid and we can exchange contact information. I will definitely be able to work around the days you listed. Thanks. (7/15/2007)

Response: OK! Hey , why you think about it, Do you have covered shipping available and insurance? It isnt 9 ft tall it is 4 ft. Michael (7/13/2007)

Response: well Here's a bit about me and how to check a provider on uship. I'm a lic motor carrier and provide 100,000 cargo ins. A owner operator will give you more control and personal service. A carrier and a broker are different. You should always check a provider out under provider directory (you can see their company info) with a shipment as delicate as this. Crating would be a really good idea, don't let them use any plastic wrap (holds in moisture) but some dries air packs would be good for the humidity, also a air ride trailer, strapping to a flatbed and then having it tarped. Any other questions let me know. Janice (7/14/2007)

Response: Ok I like what I read so far. The plane is not 9 ft tall, the top struts come off and so does the landing gear so it is about 4 ft. The wings are the big deal. They are fragile in their state and need moisture protected transportation and it really is the whole value of the project. What is you bid and I am interested in having it insured. 15k value.. Michael (7/14/2007)

Response: how long wide and high are the wings? (7/14/2007)

Response: Longest is 23ft6in by 4ft. The other 2 are smaller. (7/14/2007)

Response: ok here is my thought on this, the last time i moved one of these about a month ago with the wings if i move it or not here is what i have always done the first thing is to bubble wrap them for padding and protection then you shrink/cling wrap over the bubble wrap this will as i said protect it from road damage and rain/moister damage (7/14/2007)

Response: sorry hit the send button by accident after you shrink/cling wrap you tarp it to keep the whole thing safe please let me know if you have any other questions thanks sean (7/14/2007)
