[rebel-builders] Shipping my SR from UK to Canada in a Container
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:38 am
Thanks Wayne.
According to others, the width of the gear from
outside of the tires is 99". The standard container
width is 96". However, I am hoping with no engine or
wings, the width might be less. Weight will make the
gear spread out I would think. I don't have mine up on
wheels yet, but I am close to that point.
Prices were sure high for shipping to Hawaii!? I
better start eating beans and saving up for this.
Company has said they will move furniture, but no
boats, cars, planes, etc!
Thanks, -Jason

accrossGuys,
Anyone know the best way to move my SuperRebelCalgary.the 'Pond'? It will be going from the UK toandFortunately I am 'engineless' so it's just the
fuselage (near complete), wings, tail surfaces,placingcontrol surfaces. I was thinking about placing the
control surfaces in thick bubble wrap and thengear? Ithem inside the fuselage.
What I am debating is: on the gear or off theloadsguess the way spring steel landing gear absorbtois by speading laterally, which they won't be ablefuselage ondo in a container. However, if I place thecushion!?it's belly I am afraid of it not having anyhaveAny ideas?
I have found pics on the internet where peoplewithappeared to place their aircraft in containers on
their gear and then fastned the gear to the flooronesteel brackets.
