How is everyone getting their planes to E-TOC?

TheRooster · 03-05-2007, 11:45 AM

Hey, just trying to figure out the cheapest way to get a built foamy to toledo? Should we just ship them to our hotels? thanks to anyone who can help...

madmax · 03-05-2007, 11:49 AM

Good question John! I was wondering the same.

Temptation · 03-05-2007, 12:13 PM

Contact Andrew Jesky, and have it shipped to his house.

more what I was getting at was how are people boxing them up and shipping them?

Manuel Santos · 03-05-2007, 01:29 PM

this is how i send them last year, i hope it can help....it cost me like 500 US....

BigBird · 03-05-2007, 01:43 PM

I sent my Sypher's in a crate similar to Manuel's. I sent it to myself and went to pick it up the same day I flew in. The only problem with this method is if it gets there to early they will sent it back. So make sure you can go get it before the companys deadline. I'm not sure what I'm going to do this year. I know that some of the guys sent them to the Seagate. Maybe TNT Tom can help us out to. His shop is in Toledo. Jason

Leseberg had a coffin looking contraption that Asher made for him.. Cool, but probably overkill John. You could accomplish the same by removing the wings and shipping in a stout cardboard box. I'm sure others have some great suggestions as well.

Oh yeah, Manuel, your plane looks nothing like that after the foam bash-a-thon that me and Andy had last summer

TheRooster · 03-05-2007, 01:59 PM

thanks guys, hoping to find a way to ship them for less than 500 bucks... might just give the plane away after the contest if its that expensive lol...

Rolling Thunder · 03-05-2007, 03:41 PM

I think Leseberg had one half built so it was flat. Then he assembled it before the event.

Drysdale · 03-05-2007, 03:44 PM

If any pilots would like to ship it to TnT and feel it's safe in my hands then feel free to do that. I could bring them with me on set up day of the trade show on Thursday.

box it up and bring it on the plane with you. Just go on he airlines website and check the dimensions they allow. Thats how Shulman and I brought two 2m pattern airplanes with us one year to toledo.
