REFLECTOR: Jig to transport fuselage with spar attached

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

Sounds Good!!? 

Odd, I bought my Cherokee 235 in Prineville. Interesting little town. 

I noticed you didn't take a picture from far enough back to see who was sitting in the rocking chair on top :)

I got the plane back to Austin perfectly from Prineville, OR. A few inches shorter in any dimension though and it would not have worked well. The "mother's attic" on the U-haul that overhangs the passenger area worked great to put the winglet end of the wings with the wings against the wall. The rest of the parts can be squirreled about here and there with the fuselage lifted and rotated 45 degrees. Thanks for the idea about the mulch, it worked out GREAT.

I'm about to purchase a kit and drive it from the Pacific Northwest to Austin, TX. Can anyone offer suggestions on how to mount/jig the fuselage for the trip? The u-haul I have reserved is 7'8" wide (http://www.uhaul.com/guide/index.aspx?equipment=truck-17). It's way too small to fit. Even a shipping container doesn't seem much bigger. Any options?
