I shipped a few planes to myself when I moved from Mich to Fla. I found UPS was less $$$ than any one else. I took my planes to a local pac and ship and they made boxes to fit my 40 and 60 size planes. You will pay top $$ to ship them. UPS does not like the long boxs. I think I paid $30.00 or more for each plane. UPS is good about not crushing boxes. Just remember the $30 shipping. You may be better off to find a local who is selling the same thing unless your getting it for a low low price!
