Lynn - sorry this response was so long coming.
I used a 20ft shipping container to move my plane. I removed the wing, drained the fuel and the wrapped them in three layers of bubble wrap supplied by the moving company. I did the same for the horiz stab and elevators.
The fuselage was simply wheeled in and I used tie down straps from the strut and flout mount brackets down to the floor. (wooden floor so it was easy to screw attachment points). I also screwed 2" x 4" Plastic lumber in front and behind wheels.
I slung a wing each side of the container so that they laid flat against the side and had about 6" foam between the leading edge and the floor.
When it arrived it was exactly as packed with no damage.
Registration in Australia was a really simple matter and all that was required was an inspection by a RAA (Recreational Aircraft Australia ) LAME . Only hold up was getting the plane de-registered in Canada as I should have done this before leaving. I was hesitant at the time to do this as I have heard horror stories about owners deregistering planes and then not being able to get them registered. However this wasn't the case and it went extremely smoothly.
C-FAJW is now a legally registered 19-3507 Australian recreational Aircraft
Once here I upgraded my Jab 2200 to the latest model and now have about 1800 hrs to fly to my next major. (Hopefully)

Sounds like fun, Gary....you got a game plan on when you'll be back
over here to try some more of that? And by the way, how did you get
your Kitfox over there in Oz? I think you mentioned it, but I've
forgotten. This would be a refresher course for others who might like
to ship their planes.

Cost wasn't as bad as I thought (approx CD$6,000)
I get back to the US and C about every 6 mths at least for business but I think I'll stay put in Australia for at least the foreseeable future

If it makes you feel better Lynn I shipped my KFII from the UK to the US 2
years ago for much cheaper than that. Same as Gary it was in a 20ft
container but I also included 2 boats, a fair amount of furniture, and all
of my worldly possessions. I actually bought the container and use it as a
secure "outbuilding" on my farm now, so for comparison you would subtract
the cost of the container and substitute rental costs.
£900 (approx US$1500 at the time) to buy a "reconditioned" container
About £500 ($830) UK-side to haul it to the port and ship it
About $700 to receive it in Baltimore and truck it to Pa
$300 rental of a *huge* crane to offload it onto it's new "foundation"
As I said the purchase of the container and use as a building were optional,
but a 20x8x8 steel building for $1500 was a good deal I think. Also the
receiving fee included about $300 extra from US Customs because my container
got randomly (so they say) selected for inspection.

I'm guessing that it was a sea-going metal container, so that doesn't
sound like too bad a deal....ship the plane, and live in the
container...not bad at all. : )
Yes that sounds like a much better deal than what Gary got, but his
was $6000 Canadian?...CD? and I don't know how that translates.
Thanks for the info, Bob.
