I would hardly agree with the advise about using corplast. I have four
large corplast shipping boxes that have transported planes as far away as
Asia without a trace of damage or stress. The claim that these boxes twist
is ridiculous. It's hard to imagine just what material you have used that
has flexed and twisted but the corplast boxes I have would take much more
than a fleet of gorillas to damage the contents.
