Oscar, If you have a chance tonight after you get to where ever you're
going, will you answer a couple of questions? I possibly will need to move
my Piet project soon (possibly about 75 miles). What size van did you use?
I assume you rented it. If so, from whom? Would I have access to the same
company in North Carolina? Did you have to fasten the wheel chocks to the
floor of the van? If so how? If you screwed or nailed them down, do you
think the people who own the van would object to holes in the floor? I
guess that is about all the questions I can think of right now. Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,
I'm sure Oscar can provide a much more detailed response, but here are some
pics of my move last Summer. My rolling wing rack anchored to the side of
the van, as did the r. wheel. Chocks were merely tied to each other so they
wouldn't shift, and no need to attach to the floor. When you go to any
rental place, or view their web site, the will list the dimensions of the
van's box. Be aware that the 'height' is at the box ceiling, not at the
door! It's fairly important to get thru the door first! ;-) By letting
almost all the air out of my tires, I just barely made it!

Steve Dortch here, Aircraft mover services. Oscar actually had an opininated old
fellow there who had moved many airplanes. He had some great techiniques.
First, He used an old tow strap. Heavy duty. We used pretty good sized screws with
washers. The screw/washer was run directly through the cloth on the tow strap
and into the wood floor. They ran from the floor, up over the bottom part
of the main landing gear, just inside the axle and back down to the floor. On
the tailwheel, it ran from the floor was wrapped around the spring on the tailwheel
close to the wheel and screwed into the floor. One strap did all three wheels
without cutting it.
On the mains there was a 2x4 on edge on each side of each main wheel. a pretty
good sized (6x6) chock was wedged behind the main wheel and screwed in. The screws
were put in at an angle. After everything was secured the front (6x6) chock
was firmly pushed into place and screwed in. This allowed the aircraft suspension
to flex some and yet the fuselage was secure.
NOTE, make sure people don't rush. Some of the guys were wanting to hurry and has
some slightly unsatisfactory ideas on what to do. One guy wanted to pick the
plane up by hand and put it in that way. Oscar nixed that idea and using the
powered rear ramp that went up helped a lot. The most nervious time was people
pushing and pulling the plane on the truck loading ramp. I sure was worried
about scratching his pretty propellor.
Blue Skies,
Steve D
My boy is sure upset that he did not get to fly in Scout. (He is a "Wing Nut")

Oscar,
Why didn't you let me know you wanted the Piet in Oregon as I would have
been happy to have flown it there for you. It would have given me the
opportunity to view our beautiful snowie west. Always wanted to fly that leg from
Santa Fe-Durango-Salt LakeCity in a Piet.You just want all the fun for
yourself

Corky: I'm sorry I didn't mention that I wanted the plane moved. Next time, I
will. Oh, by the way: my wife has been telling me that she would like to see
the Inca ruins at Machu Picchu. When can you have the airplane down there so
I can fly her over the ruins?
