'Hello folks,
A F24 will fit into a shipping container. When I bought my F24R46,
I moved it from just south of Oklahoma City to Chicago in a UHaul
truck. The landing gear was removed and a 'dolly' was put in its
place. The dolly is basicly extends the width of the fuselage frame
and mounts where on the landing gear mounts on the fuselage. It does
not extend out to the tripod area. Using this, the fuselage will fit
into the back of a UHaul truck with no problem. The fuselage does
not have to be put in at any angles.
It might be possible to put a F24 fuselage in a shipping container
without removing the landing gear, but I think it would definitely
require some kind of framework to support it at an angle, especially
if you were going to ship it in an overseas.
If I can get a digital picture of the dolly setup, I will post it
for people to see.
Cheers,
Bill Kahl
