 |
|
My son and I received our Quick Build fuselage and wings yesterday, at my home here in Walnut Creek, California, via Partain Transport and laptop GPS. All I can say is “super service”. Be prepared – it arrived several hours sooner than anticipated. The trailer is 70 feet long (he had two RV-10 QB’s and one RV-7 QB on board) – so don’t expect him to back into your residential driveway. Make sure to have a couple of healthy helpers on hand – especially to lift the fuselage off of the transport stand onto your stand. The fuselage transport stand has rollers, and does in fact roll right down the driveway. The wings are carried in the trailer mounted via straps to the side wall, so you and your helper will need to lift them while the driver unstraps them and removes the pads. You and your helper then carry them off the trailer onto your wing stand. Bruce was very helpful – it was comforting to see his “Sun and Fun – 2006” tee shirt and know that he was a fellow aviation enthusiast (and helicopter pilot). But don’t count on Bruce staying around too long – he is under DOT regulations as a truck driver and has to keep moving, lest he run out of duty time. Everything arrived in perfect order, well padded and protected. It was $1580 well spent – highly recommended.

Bill,
Thanks for this timely post. Tony’s driver with my (and other’s) kit on it should be leaving for AL either today or tomorrow. I’ve got my help laid on and was wondering if I was gonna have to take down some of my chain link fence to get him in the backyard. Seems Tony’s updated rolling stands are making things even easier. Imagine my paying more money for a freight company to mishandle it and then dump it off the load dock in my driveway!
