Will it fit in a USPS "flat rate" box? 

A few weekends ago, a friend of mine and I were looking at his blasting cabinet.  He had just bought some glass beads, maybe a 25 or 30 pound bag.  He said the guy he bought it from stuffed it in a USPS flat rate box to ship it.  Now that's ingenuity.  Cheesy

What type of planes have you restored? Is this for a museum, business or personal?

Currently working on a B-26 and two SBD-5's.
It started as the restoration of a gentleman's personal collection, but has since blossomed into a small museum.

My boss and I were just talking about these engines/aircraft last week. The Convair B-36 Peacemaker used six (yes 6!) of these 28 cylinder engines along with four (yes 4!) General Electric J-47 jet engines!!  Shocked Talk about horsepower!!!
