How big is a T5 with bell housing removed?
I'm bringing one back on an aircraft, and I'd like to know how small a crate I can get it into.

They're fairly ground-shipping friendly.
They're also pretty easy to crate with some drywall screws, a saw, power driver / drill and some 2x4 pieces if you're handy.
Just don't be the one that tosses it in a rubbermaid tub and calls it good (without sufficient supportive surrounding packaging matter.)
