Wednesday 1st. Sunny. I have been outside packing the MkIV for its trip back to Blighty.Having taken the whole thing apart I was able to tape the main shafts and cradle together. Then place it in a long, narrow box with padding. I was hoping to avoid the heavy shafts shooting out of the box and causing damage. Taping the parts together increases the cross sectional area. I also taped the box thoroughly. To avoid penetration. This parcel came to 14kg. So just under the 15kg postage step.
The rest of MkIV just fits into an old banana box. However it came to just over 21kg once I had added lightweight packing materials.
The weight limit is 20kg for handing packages into parcel centres in Denmark. So I will have to lighten the second parcel and make up a small third.
16.30 I have just delivered the three parcels to the parcel office in the village. 2 x15kg and one of 10kg.
