Transporting
with Your Own Trailer
You may also prefer to carry the kit home with you on your own trailer.
Please make note of the crate dimensions to be sure that your trailer
is large enough.
If
you will be transporting your kit only a short distance from the factory,
you may elect not to have the kit packed in the wooden crate. It will
then be in cardboard boxes and unboxed bundles. The hull will not be boxed.
You will need to ensure the safety of your own transportation.
An assembled aircraft can be carried on your trailer. Disassembly for
transport takes two people about 45 minutes (and 45 minutes for reassembly).

underneath (with access on the top of the box). The fuselage/empennage
is carried on top of the trailer and the wings are stowed in the box underneath.
