Did anybody have trouble picking up their finish kit in a standard truck 

bed?  It lists at 8 ft x 4 ft x 27 inches.  I'd rather not take the 

trailer if I can avoid it.

I think the finishing kit also includes the canopy top which is

in a huge crate on it's own.  You can probably get the thin box

that you describe in a pickup (I didn't use a pickup though so

it's a guess),  but I'm not sure if you'd get the big canopy

box to fit.

Canopy top comes with the Fuse in the Standard Kit (I don't know about the

QB kit), which is a huge box.  The finishing kit comes with the engine

mount, gear, doors, windows, etc, I think.  The weight shouldn't be anything

that most pickups couldn't handle, but check those dimensions with your

truck and you should be fine.

I picked up the fuselage in a full size truck bed.  It went between the 

truck whel wells just perfectly. The finish kit dimensions shows the same 

width as the fuselage.  I plan to use the same truck when my finish kit gets 

to the terminal. Hopefully by Thanksgiving!

I picked up mine in my Toyota Sequoia. It was very tight and the dog had to share the front seats with my wife and I, but we did it without anything on the roof rack. We could have strapped the motor mount up there if necessary. We packed very carefully and mercifully it was not raining in Aurora. The big gorillas are the seats, the motor mounts and the cowling. Everything else is manageable. The new fashionable pink cowling is a bit flimsy for the roof rack and was my big concern. But it all went inside. On a truck get good tarps to protect from wind and rain



We also got the FWF kit at the same time

The canopy top comes with the QB Fuselage, as well.

Everybody, thanks for the replies.  Web site listed the finish kit at 48 

inches wide.  The actual box was 49"  Just fit inside wheel wells.  

Saved hauling the trailer to Dallas and back (200 mi round trip). 



Now I need to get all this stuff attached and free up some room in the 

shop!.

I set a goal when I started 10 months ago to fly to OSH 08. It looks like it is getting harder to achieve. Engine coming in 60 days. Avionics seems to be the real bitch of this whole project. Cabin top- doors and windows now

Forget the '08 or Bust, just enjoy building and it will get done when it

gets done.  Otherwise you will drive yourself and everyone around you nuts.

It is a good plane and worth the wait.
