Separator/cushion is easy. Just cut up a 5$ sleeping bag pad from WallyMart, the light blue ones are good for this. I use these to get two three piece wings in a regular sailplane bag with all the parts separated and padded. Really helps the hangar rash.
The snow board bags are great, and they are way more rugged than the "sailplane bags". For travel to the field they work well. But, I would not ship in one of these, because your sailplane will not take near the abuse that a snow board will, and the baggage guys have been known to break/damage snow boards. They may think your ship is a snow board - and handle it that way.
