Default RE: Transporting your aircraft

Keep it simple until you find what works best for you. I took the shipping box for my Avistar, cut the top off - now it looks like a bathtub. Cut a slot in the end of the box so the prop and shaft slid down into. With the wings off the plane sits on it's gear held in place by the prop. I then cut verticle slots on each end of the box in the shape of the wing airfoil, then the wing sits in this cradle. I glued some foam to the box for the horizontal stab. I slid the box into a van, back of my truck etc.
