My SLOW-build fuselage is ready for pickup the week of Oct 15. At this point, I'm planning on driving down myself to pick it up with my Honda minivan. I was planning to pick it up uncrated to save $50 or so, particularly since I still have my wing crate to store the fuse. parts in and also because I already have more than enough scrap lumber around for any forseable fixtures and carts.
The fuse crate itself is plenty small enough (the back of my van is 4ft x almost 8 feet), but are there any odd sized or shaped parts that I will have to plan for that, if uncrated, might pose a problem for a Honda Odyssey? Are any of the skins prebent, etc., that will require extra padding or support? (The longerons already came with my wing kit)
Any thoughts would be appreciated. If it sounds too problematic I'll just have them crate it all, but $50 will sure go along way toward that engine I'll have to hang on the front!! Thanks.
