Mine made it there just fine apparently: pay special attention to
lashing down loose items like tail dollies, wing wheels, and tool kits
- and of course anything inside the cockpit that could damage the
canopy. I taped over the access port in the front, and any gaps and
the back of the trailer. Pay attention to the deregistration paperwork
with the FAA, your purchaser will need it. Also, clean out the trailer
of any dirt, very carefully, and pull into a do-it-yourself car wash
when you get to the port of embarkation and give the wheels and trailer
a good clearning. The agriculture inspection folks down like to see
varmits coming in with the mud.

With the dollar in the toilet, anyone keeping of the flux of ships out
of the USA? When 2E went south a year a bit ago, I seem to recall that
7 or the 8 sales that I was aware of all went "overseas".

I am shipping my glider with trailer to New Zealand during the next
week. Any advice on how to pack the glider in the trailer other than
the usual road retrieval securing in the Cobra trailer? The shipping
is not in a container but a "roll on". Any other advice would be
appreciated. Thanks, John Iacobucci
