<DIV>So your $50 was for what, a 100 mile delivery? I wonder if Grayhound varies rates depending on distance. Do they assume the box stays on one bus, or do they transfer it along the way if needed?</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yeah, Yeah. This was a strange situation. I boxed the plane to send to Alaska. Unfortunately, when it came time to ship, the price wasn't what we thought it would be (plus my box was a little larger than I thought it would be). We couldn't find anything under about $300 to ship, so the deal fell through. I left it in the box since it was already there and when it sold to someone in FL, we put it on the Greyhound bus. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The last airplane that I shipped was a Hydeout. The box was huge and filled with Styrofoam peanuts to help cushion the plane. I shipped it using greyhound and everything got down to Florida in one piece. The cost was around $50 and took a little less than a week since they only load freight when they have enough room on the bus.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=120432501-04102005> That's good to know. How bad is it ($$$) to ship something the size of an airplane? I could see it being pretty expensive to go UPS, and I'd be a little bit worried about it arriving in one piece, especially if it was during the Christmas rush. That seems to be when stuff takes a severe beating. I had things arrive with tire tracks on them. Luckily they were insured.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=990300701-04102005> Here's an idea. We have a section on the NSRCA web-site for beginners. Maybe that would be a good place to put some links / pictures of all of these nice used airplanes that still have a lot of life left in them. I'd have to agree about the shipping problem though. It's definitely a major factor that affects the sale. I've seen some things that I would probably have bought, but when I factored in the shipping cost, I told the owner to try to sell it locally first. I've heard of people shipping airplanes using Greyhound. Has anyone had success with this method? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I've sold my fair share of pattern planes. The older ones (Like a Finess or Dr Jekyll) sold for pretty much the cost of the original kit. I think it gets better if your a builder with an established name. But a used plane is just that. Your asking the person to take a risk that you sheeted the wing correctly, have the stab located right, etc etc. If someone doesn't know your quality of building, they are just not going to pay much. </DIV>
