Status: offline 		A few years ago my kids hauled all my planes down to Fla. from Mi. in their enclosed trailer.

I had packed all our stuff and leveled out the top as best I could then laid blankets etc. on top of the stuff. Then I just placed the planes in good secure positiones and placed more blankets etc. in and around the planes.

They all rode fine and NO damage even with the kids getting in and out of the trailer a few times. Most people tend to be too carefull with packing, a little common sence goes a long ways.
ENJOY !!! RED

The movers furnished slatted boxes, with cardboard liners, IIRC, around 30-48" by 65" and a foot or so deep. I packed the models myself, and closed the containers. No problems were ever encountered.
