Hi
I'd like to ship my RV8 to the United Kingdom from the Boston area. I have been in touch with Brad from Neel Aviation who has provided me with a quote.
Before I decide to hand over the whole process (and a whack of money) which still involves me having to ferry the a/c to Florida, I wondered how much work it is to dismantle and pack the aircraft myself?
Can anyone recommend a good logistics company who can deliver me a 40ft container, collect it and ship it to the UK? As well as an insurer?
Does anyone have any detailed photos of how to load the aircraft? I have seen photos where Brad uses straps, foam and plastic wrap to secure the a/c on mounting points. No use of wood which I believe is a concern.
Any other tips greatly appreciated.
I would not want to risk my aircraft arriving in the UK with damage, but at the same time if it is something that can be relatively easily done with some thought I'd rather spend the money I safe on LL100 (which is double the price in the UK )
Thanks
