Thanks to all of you again. I see clearly the many reasons for trailering the KR home.
One thing I do want to make clear is that it was never MY intention to fly one of these birds to Alaska. I was thinking about professional pilots who fly cross country all the time who would fly the KR to its new home. I guess even pros would trailer the plane home. Since towing by trailer is the way to go, how difficult is it to take the wings off and put them back on again? Does this damage the plane in any way? In my case, it looks like getting a KR here would involve the following: Option 1 1. trailering to Seattle 2. Packaging the plane somehow 3. Shipping by sea barge to remote Alaska This method would probably cost around $5-7000 Option 2 The alternative would be to hire a PROFESSIONAL ferry pilot. Estimated expenses: $1500-3000? Option 3 Have kit delivered to my location and build to my specifications. Time to build: years? Any ideas on this one? What would you do? Thanks for all of your responses. Merry Christmas Thomas Brock
