It shipped about 1 week later than expected because the crating team was a bit behind. SO it took about 9 weeks for delivery. Kit came in two crates by FedEx Freight. One was 202 lbs, and the other was only 175 lbs. Both were easily handled by two men to get them off of the freight truck. This is a 15 ft, 5 inch long box that contains the main and rear Wing Spars, Push/Pull tubes, hardware, etc. I used three furniture dollies from Harbor Freight to move 
them from my driveway to the garage.
them from my driveway to the garage.This one is the larger box that contains the wing skins, ribs, and aileron and flap skins. THis one was 8 ft long x 32" wide by 10 inches high. I used one more furniture dolly and my hand truck that has two additional wheels on the top side so it can be laid flat on the floor to support loads similar to this. The wood came from Oregon, and it is straighter than any wood we ever see here in Colorado. It was also green and had a good amount of sap on the bottom edges.
