Default Quick Build Wing crates

I have searched and searched and have been unable to find a picture of how Van's crates QB wings.

I do know they use a plywood box! The real question is how are the wings secured in the plywood box?

If anyone has a picture of how the QB wings were hung/attached/packed in said crate please send me a picture.

I am currently crating RV-3B wings and could use some guidance.

My email address is zilik@excelgeo.com

Thanks in advance for any pics.

Not Vans QB packaging, but I saw one person crating a set of complete wings, He got some large styrofoam blocks & hot wired the airfoil shape into crate spacers. Those wings were solid in there for sure.

Default quick build wings

Had Vans ship mine by a shipper they use name of Toney Partian. They where wrapped and strapped to the insides of the trailer. And came direct to me. No common carrier. It was cheaper than creating them and shipping common carrier.
I would recommend them.
