YOu are going to WAY too much trouble. I'd use a virgin cardboard box
about 2x or 3x the volume of the shipment, pack the electronics in a double
wrap of bubble wrap, put a few inches of plastic peanuts in the bottom of
the box, put the heaviest unit in the bottom, fill over the top of that box
with peanuts, put in the lighter of the two units on top of the box, fill
with peanuts and tape the box shut.

You will find that shipping by FedEx air will reduce your probability of
damage to near zero, but I'd still opt for the insurance at the replacement
cost rate.

Do NOT ship UPS. Those *******s will find a way to screw up the process one
way or another, and we ship two to three hundred packages a year.

A friend has recently updated his C210's avionics with a largely Garmin
panel. Among the things removed was a King RDS81 weather radar. I've found
a buyer in Florida, and have to figure out how to get it there from
Oregon, as safely as possible. We don't have to ship the pod, just the
receiver/transmitter and display. The R/T is probably 12" x 12", and
weighs about 15 lbs.
