NATS

[Archie Stafford]

The biggest thing with shipping it is making sure it packed correctly.  And
in a VERY sturdy box, wooden if possible just to eliminate the crushing
possibilities.  I'm sure that if you had it shipped you could have it
shipped to the AMA headquarters and pick it up there.  I don't think the AMA
would have a problem with that especially since you were visiting for the
NATS.  
 
There are always pattern vendors floating around, but there is also a hobby
shop adjacent to the flying site, but you'd probably have been luck finding
anything from one of the pattern vendors who are usually out there.

I'm thinking about attending the NATS this year. If I do I would like to fly
and ship my model. Can anyone tell me their experiences shipping their
models? Checking it as baggage on the airplane seems problematic. If I ship
it, can I have it held for pick up some place? Are there local hobby shops
where I can get fuel and supplies if I need them?
Can you guys give me some advice please? It's a 2200 mile drive so I'm
favoring flying.
