    Not sure if Penske has the boards on the wall but a Uhaul truck does and they are perfect for strapping the wings on the wall to make room for everything. Honestly, I think I would recommend the Uhaul over the penske cause the floor is so much lower so you can get the plane in and out easier at your house. Plus the wings strapped to the wall is a nice way to go

    Just curious, if you pick up the kit at the factory it's not crated?

    Rachet straps, you will need many ratchet straps.

    Talk to Brandon. I helped him load a pair of wings and they have a slicker than greased owl scat setup for the wings.

    Happy to hear you made it back to Portland with everything in good order.

    Glad I could help with the blankets.

    Thanks, Ralph! The drive was easier than I thought. I got home that day around 7pm too. And that was with the cruise control set at speed limits all the way...
