Default Re: How is everyone getting their planes to E-TOC?

Well, currently we're pulling the back seats out of the plane and setting them there..... If weather turns, then they'll ride for 12 hours in the back of the truck as I drive up.....

A case like Manuel and Lese's seems to be the best bet for airfair. You could possibly tell them its a bicycle. Most airlines will ship a bicycle for a fairly reasonable charge....

I just checked my airline (northwest) and they have a 70 pound luggage limit, didnt have a demention limit listed, Im prity sure I can get a crate with 2 planes in it below 70 lbs, but do I want to trust my planes to a baggage worker making 8 bucks an hour....

I shipped a crate that was 80x24x22 for 100$ insured through DHL when I sold my 50cc Ultimate, and the crate weighed 100 pounds. So that might be an option for you, it should be way less than 100 pounds. At the end of the event, you might want to consider tearing your gear out, tossing the foamy and throwing the gear in your suitcase. Even if you paid full pop for the foamy, its probably less than shipping it back in a wood crate.
