		+
		+	I bought a kit from another builder who had done very little work done on it. I wanted to take it from Ohio to Florida for the Head Start program. For anyone who is transporting a Velocity that does not yet have the spar installed, here are my recommendations:
		+
		+	# Rent a 20- or 24-foot box truck Budget, Penske, or Ryder. (The fuselage is ~17+ feet before the engine cowl is cut, so the 18-foot trucks won’t give you much extra room.) You can get a 1-way rental for a week for under $2,000. Rent one dozen cargo blankets with the truck. (3-dozen if the wings and canard are built.) Truck quality from the cheaper places is hit-and-miss. Be prepared to have no A/C or radio (even if they say it’s included). Join AAA if you’re not already a member. AAA covers the member, no matter what they’re driving—cheap insurance to have in case there’s a problem with the truck.
		+	# Get these items: 2.5″ drywall screws and washers that fit these screws. A cordless drill/screwdriver. A padlock for the truck’s cargo door. If the wings and canard are built, you’ll want some cargo straps and 4 inexpensive saw-horses.
		+	# Put the fuselage in the truck on a few layers of blankets. Drill 4 small holes in the fuselage bottom right through the blankets into the wood floor of the truck. (Location doesn’t matter much.) Use the drywall screws and washers to secure the fuselage to the floor of the truck. (If you don’t have a drill, you can just force the screws to self-tap through all the layers.)
		+	# The top half of the fuselage will be safe sitting on the bottom half. Secure the halves together using the drywall screws through their flanges. The screws don’t have to be tight in the holes . . . they’re just there to keep the top half from sliding around.
		+	# Pack the rest of the kit in and around the fuselage. If none of the fast-build work has been done, all the rest of the parts are easily loaded by 1 person.
		+	# If the wings and canard are built, you (with a helper) can hang them on the walls of the truck using the cargo straps. Use the blankets to wrap the wings. Make sure that there is padding between the wings and the cargo straps—a fiberglass corner can quickly cut through the webbing. Place the sawhorses under the wings so that they don’t crash to the floor if the webbing breaks. For extra security, you can run drywall screws through the blankets into the truck’s side rails. If everything else fails, the blanket will rip, slowly lowering the wing to the truck floor. (Strips of old carpet work well, too. Many wings have been transported wrapped just in carpet that was screwed to the side of the truck.)
		+	# Drive it. Unload it. Drop off the truck. Start building.
		+
		+	The above plan costs about the same as hiring a professional to transport it for you. It has some additional benefits, though: You maintain control over your aircraft kit, you don’t have to pay extra to transport yourself (since you’ll be driving), and you are not dependent on the availability of a professional transporter.
		+
		+	If your main spar is installed, the Velocity will not fit inside a standard rental truck. Some people have rigged a way put a Velocity in a rental truck nose-first with the spar on the outside of the truck. It has to be rotated about 45 degrees on the longitudinal axis so the spar doesn’t jut out into other lanes of traffic. Also, this doesn’t work if the strakes have been installed.
		+
		+	Most people hire a professional transporter if the spar has been installed. Call the Velocity factory for recommendations.
		+

 Fuselage was rolled onto a flatbed trailer and strapped down.  This was a "wide load" transport.  The wings and canard were transported in the wing rack.<br/>
