Not a big deal for me... I never ship planes that I have flown for personal use.. I either fly them until the wings fall off or give them away to someone local. Those planes I build for others and ship I would simply prep everything and leave the stab off for them to attach.

I have crated some very large planes (40%) and used Forward Air to ship them.. about $100 for a large crate and $3000 insurance. Fedex and UPS destroy too much stuff for me to ever ship a GS plane that way...


I would certainly not consider it a make / break point for purchase that's for sure.. .
