At least that was the response from one airplane friend when I sent him a picture of the RV-10 going on a flatbed to the airport/paint shop. (I'm not sure I could afford the cost of a flatbed trip to Oshkosh.)
This was a stressful move for me. It is 30+ miles to the airport and 25 of those miles are on busy Atlanta interstate. The RV-10's track width isn't *that* much narrower than the flatbed, so there's always the chance of something going badly wrong. But nothing did.
In addition, I was trying to get the -10 to the airport and retrieve the next project (see below) before the rain started. I literally got the Champ into the shop/garage 5 minutes before it started raining.
