Hello Jeff, If you or your buyer need a reliable and insured transport of
your Velocity project, I am a Quicksilver/Challenger/Europa kit builder
and pilot with an enclosed 29 foot cargo trailer, and would be happy to
provide a shipping quote, door to door. I transport completed planes and
kits/parts/engines as well. I cycle through most areas of the country
every 2 or 3 weeks, so scheduling is very flexible.
My cell phone number is 561-512-3230, which I answer 7 days a week up to
around 9:30 PM Eastern.
Good luck on your sale.
Regards, 
Bob

No fuel strake but spar is on. It's been a real headache figuring out transportation. I am taking a ski trip to Whistler, then driving to Seattle getting UHaul then picking up plane.
I live in Austin already. Here is my blog for the build so far: http://efranks.wordpress.com
The consensus so far seems to be rotate and let it hang outside the truck slightly. It seems reasonable and I like the idea of the compost as padding. I'll try to document the hell out of this process and have it up on the blog live.
FYI, talking to the factory they suggested their mover but he was $4,520 from Oregon to Austin. Knowing how difficult this is and the 6300 miles he had to drive total from his home base this seems fair. I just seem to like to the DIY thing if possible. This trait should help...
