[rebel-builders] Shipping my SR from UK to Canada in a Conta

[Wayne G. O'Shea]

Tell them you have lots of stuff and need the 40 footer. Pack the airplane
first and what ever else you have second to hid it! What ever doesn't
fit...buy new...it will save you money. That's what Monty plans to do! ;o)

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

Guys,

Anyone know the best way to move my SuperRebel

accross

the 'Pond'? It will be going from the UK to

Calgary.

Fortunately I am 'engineless' so it's just the
fuselage (near complete), wings, tail surfaces,

and

control surfaces. I was thinking about placing the
control surfaces in thick bubble wrap and then

placing

them inside the fuselage.

What I am debating is: on the gear or off the

gear? I

guess the way spring steel landing gear absorb

loads

is by speading laterally, which they won't be able

to

do in a container. However, if I place the

fuselage on

it's belly I am afraid of it not having any

cushion!?

Any ideas?

I have found pics on the internet where people

have

appeared to place their aircraft in containers on
their gear and then fastned the gear to the floor

with

steel brackets.

See: http://www.gut-works.com/ferry-export.htm

Wayne, you had a thread in 2001 where you shipped

one

of your Rebels to Hawaii. Any learnings from that?

Thanks, -Jason
