AFFORDABLE AIRPLANE SHIPPING SERVICES

 

 

The shipment consists of the disassembled components of small airplane, no engine. The fuselage, nose cone etc. are in Choctaw, OK 73020. The wing, horizontal tail and parachute are in a hangar at Shawnee Regional Airport (KSNL), OK (about 15 mi distance). The wing is thin aluminum sheet metal, span 20.0 ft, 4.67 ft chord. It would be best to transport it flat, with padding. The fuselage is on wheels, length 18.3 ft, width at wheels about 6 ft. The sketches show a possible loading configuration with wing and fuselage both on a 20 ft trailer. The wheels of the fuselage may need to sit on blocks to clear the wing. The wing needs to be flat surface down, but it extends lower at the wing tips and will need to sit a bit elevated the keep the tips off the floor. The flap needs to be removed on one side for this to work Another loading possibility, if a pickup truck is used, is to place the fuselage on the bed of the truck. The fuselage is fairly light. The shipper needs to provide straps and padding to secure the items. Openings in the fuselage need to be closed with plastic to keep water and debris out. Helper(s) will be available for loading and unloading
