While it is certainly do-able, one has to question why you would take the risk if you're not trying to break some record?

Take the wings off, carefully pack the entire airplane (and anything else you will be wanting in Hawaii) in a shipping container, and ship it.  Probably won't cost much more than flying it, and with no risk to yourself.

I'm running the numbers for a ferry tank to take my Lancair 360 from California (probably Watsonville) to Hawaii.  My back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that I can do this with a GTOW of 2000 or 2100 pounds and have the range for 2100 nmi with a 30 kt headwind (no reserves).

 

Has anyone made this trip before in a 320 or a 360?  I know a few IVs have done it.

 

Needless to say, the shakedown flights will be the other way -- California to Boston, or something like that.
