Response: The date is tight because the owner is from Nebraska and only goes to Hays one weekend a month. We want to be there for pictures and to make sure we get it loaded properly.

They need special strapping and special bracing as to not harm the skin so whatever you carrier you choose be advised. Just some friendly advice we will gladly place a bid. But if you dont care how it gets there as long as it gets there please choose another, we use this site strictly for a fill in. let me know if you would like for us to bid Thanks**** (12/26/2007)
Response: I am not sure of the width. You are probably closer to the right dimensions. The only people there will be myself and the former plane owner who is donating it to my school. We are a school who is accepting this as a project for students to work on. No intention of flying it. Thank you for the information on the transport. We are new at this. (12/26/2007)
