You may leave in a hurry and leave your freshly built Twister wing in the closet!

4hr round trip, surely it's cheaper to buy new balsa than a tank of gas.
I could ask one of the local guys to grab it. Would be expensive to ship back though. It's a constant chord wing. Maybe I should just build another. The LE was kind of warped anyway.

.......... it's people with "sleep apnea" that do those kind of things... and they also drive the 4 hrs. to retrieve... if you re-build... it'll never fly right... and you'll curse yourself for leaving your 1st behind... (am I making you feel guilty yet?)

Dude ! Get a local guy to grab it and just hang on to it ! You're bound to go back through at some point!
It ain't just the balsa and glue...there's TIME invested in that sucker !!!

I agree with the guilt trip the time is as important as the original wing you built for that plane of love and joy to come. do the right thing and save the misery of the haunt for years to come .

Well,
I decided to make a couple phone calls today and as luck would have it I was able to get a hold of the head house keeper along with some guys I worked with the wing is now safe.
The one guy travels through OKC frequently and said he will deliver next time he comes through.
