I can't help but wondering why anyone would take a perfectly good
cross country airplane and put in a trailer to deliver it some distance away.
Why not fly it there?
Apparently there are good reasons not to fly the plane. There seem
to be lots of people and lots of different planes going through this
experience.
Still, I have to wonder. If someone wants a plane but is unwilling
to fly it home then what, exactly, do they plane to do with the plane
when they get it there?

In my case I live some distance from the nearest strip or airport. Most of
the year I'm a die hard float flyer. In the winter I put the wheels on.
That means to fly I have to trailer the plane to the nearest strip or
airport to fly.

Three reasons...
1) Weather...In western Oregon there are some mountains to get over (and
the Rockies) and to guarantee good weather for 2000 miles in any
direction is unlikely...Not if you don't have time to be stuck
somewhere.
2)To get a flying airplane across the border into Canada that you are
buying is apparently very difficult.
3) Depends on how confident you are with the transition traning you
got....A Zodiac is a very easy airplane to fly with little training...An
RV or Lanceair is very different and the insurance company will almost
certainly require a signoff by a CFI in the make and model.
