I think also that the 'savings' will be quickly decreased/removed by the additional logistics of different collection and delivery locations.
Hope not too unhelpful. Sorry! Sam.
There was a feature in 'Popular Flying' some years ago about this; two people bought aircraft in the USA, flew them to the same airport and dismantled them to bring home. One was a Cub I think; the other may have been a Robin of some sort; one of the blokes was Ian Callier who had done this exercise before.
One important thing they emphasised was the container MUST have rings mounted inside along the walls to tie the aircraft down properly; not all containers have this.
When I moved my aircraft from Elstree to Fairoaks, I hired a lorry in which there were horizontal battens inside the body to tie ropes to; nail some long pieces of wood to the floor in front and behind the mainwheels to prevent fore and back movement and hey presto.
