Bill;

I received my IV-P via Partain back in December. There will be very little,
if any, crating. The wings and other such pieces will be strapped to the wall
of the truck, and the fuselage, etc... will be hand loaded and secured. There
was a plywood template used to keep the back of the lower fuselage secure.
After unloading, I was able to fasten that template to the top of a workbench
and use that to secure the upper fuselage (inverted). The wings just need a
simple jig built for them - I'm sure Lancair will do it for you if you ask.
It's the most secure way I know of to store the wings, and it also takes up
the least amount of space.

Make sure you have enough sawhorses and sandbags that you can secure the
lower fuselage in place.

I just arranged shipping for my IV-P kit and realized that I
really don't know what to expect on delivery. I checked the Manual but aside
from the fuselage stand found very little information about handling the parts
and pieces. I also tried my hand at searching the Archives but couldn't figure
out how to retrieve posts online but maybe I'll be able to figure that out
eventually.
