Leo2A6_Owner,

When I went to Danville a year and 1/2 ago I flew and sent my TANKS via GREYHOUND .. No problems this way... You must send your tanks ahead of you by 1 week so they will get there/here on time.. and you can ship direct to our station here in BRYAN/COLLEGE STATION , TX and I would be willing to pick them up for you and anyone who wants to do the same... then you can just pick them up at the event...
Or ship them to your Hotel/Motel via Fedex, UPS!

I understand about flying.. you never know if you will or won't have any issues with the different legs on your flight...

Oh id drive either way. I would want to check out the area. Plus a chevy blazer also comes in handy as a mini RV for one person and has room for a 1/6 scale tank too.

It seems as though I have convinced the little lady that we are going to make the trip down to Texas for this, it helps her family lives there... I will be shipping 2 tanks down as flying with them seems a terrible idea...

WOOHOO!!! Now my only request.... Can you turn the heat down?

Tomas, you are right about that, but one has moved on, getting Married, and one is moving in with me... But, I have one more out there, but when she turns 16 next year they usually want to come hang at the beach! But you never know, maybe she fly's out for the summer and we road trip it back to see the contry side ! When I was younger I did the drive 24 hours straight, I made it to a hotel outside of Fortworth from San Diego, and it took me two days to recover , it wasn't worth pushing it!
