Hello Ernie:

    

   Are you looking to ship your newly-assembled rudder as checked baggage?

    

   DON'T !!  Baggage handlers will make that thing unusable - look what they do to perfectly good luggage !!!!

    

   My opinion is to pay the $$$ for crating and shipping and let it go via UPS.  Another suggestion is to leave the rudder at Zenith and have them ship it to you with the tail kit you WILL order after you have so much fun at the rudder workshop.

    

   Have a GREAT time !!

Ernie you probably don't want to hassle with that.  It might get mishandled and dented in transit anyway. I foyu are impressed  enough to want to order the complete kit or one or more sub-kits, just have  Zenith ship the rudder to you with the kit. That's what I did and it arrived  nicely padded all safe and sound in the crate. Didn't need the rudder hanging  around before the rest of the parts got here and it did not cost any extra to  get it here.

  

 Enjoy the workshop and I hope you like the demo  flight enough to start building the rest. Which plane are you interested  in?

Eriie . . .  it's pretty big, and it's fragile from a dent standpoint.  

Why not let ZAC ship it with the rest of your tail kit?  I wouldn't risk 

taking it on the plane homr.   If you decide not to go ahead, you 

probably won't want the rudder anyway. Robert Schoenberger, 701

Thanks everyone.



Looks like it will be shipped by zenith. 



Not sure what I was thinking, I guess it would have worked itself out there.



My plan is go component plan starting with Tail, Wings, Fuselage, or tail fuselage wings.

Ernie-

     Here's my two buck's worth:  

     If you can get through the stab  and elevator without a hitch, you've got it made. You also get all the  skills you need for the rest of the project. 

     I think all kit providers start  with the rudder because it's the cheapest, but completing the stab and elevator  will give you more skills, confidence, and everything else you need to actually  finish a project. A bit more expensive, but a better indication of things  to come.
