Hello,
I am building an RV-10 in NJ and will be moving to Florida in a few weeks. I am keeping the home in NJ for a while. The home in Florida has a hanger. I wish to move my project to the new home soon. I am looking for feedback on the best way to move. I have builders insurance that will cover the cost of the parts and kits should something happen during the move, but obviously I hope nothing does happen. I have the following kits/parts in NJ
Epennange kit - completed
QB Wings on rolling stand 97% done Bottom wing skins and some wiring still left
Fusalage QB kit - as purchased
Lots of tools and boxes including compressor, floor band saw and drill press.
My thought is to rent a large U-Haul truck (not a trailer) for the airplane move. Pack the kits in custom built wood crates with just enough strategically placed spray foam packing (with plastic material between the plane and foam) to keep them in place. I can make the drive in 2 days.
Other options are to call a professional moving company, PODs, etc.
I think I would feel better doing it myself and knowing the kit is being handled by me, but paying someone is easier.
I would be interested in opinions and experience.
Regards,
Michael
