Amigos,
I am building an RV-8. It appears that I will be relocating in a few months. I'm looking for some experience/lessons learned from anyone who has moved a project.
Big picture: the move will be about 380 miles (Atlanta - Jacksonville). The empennage is finished and resting in a cradle (less the tips), the wings are completed (less the tips), i'm currently working on the fuselage interior (firewall to tailwheel is assembled), and i have the finish kit on hand.
Thoughts to date: speak with insurance company, get 18-20' trailer, pack carefully, drive even moreso, and pray often.
Searched forums, but didn't find much. Would appreciate any thoughts/considerations.
I proposed a 2 month, 24/7, build-a-thon followed by a spectacular fly-off to the new location. But then the wife has to drive the kids. She's not going for it...
Thanks,
Jeff
