Anyone in the freight forwarding business know how long these things take? I can't imagine you'd get it boxed and trucked to a US dockside in less than 4-5 days. Then you've got to find a ship ready to go to a suitable European port, then clear customs and truck it to Hungary.
"A few weeks" according to Ewald's site (link is to today's version of the site as saved to the Wayback machine):

A few weeks after the crash the Spirit of Artemis arrived in our maintenance base in Hungary.....a sad moment, but big motivation for everyone of the team to get it flying again, possibly in time for Farnborough 2016......

Between these pictures are many night and weekend shifts, all in all several thousand workhours, by a dozen of our engineers.....

Less than two months after the crash the Spirit of Artemis is reborn a second time!
