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.

aircraft can be carried on your trailer. Disassembly for transport takes two people about 45 minutes (and
45 minutes for reassembly). One type of trailer used is an 8 feet (24.4 m)
wide by 20 feet (6.1 m) long flatbed trailer with a 20 inch (51 cm) high carpeted
storage area 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.
