I've just taken my rocker box apart and cut about 10kg of (hopefully) excess timber out of it, including making it narrower. I also thoroughly painted all the cut surfaces three times to try to preserve the particleboard. It's certainly much easier to carry but I seem to have degraded the azimuth motion when I repositioned the teflon. There are a few things I can play with that (fingers crossed) should improve it.
I transport mine with the lower tube section in the cradle and the secondary cage on top of that. It's tall but not too tall for my troopie and it keeps the footprint to a minimum. I made a board that goes between the upper and lower sections that prevents sideways movement and also a top plate for the cage and he whole lot is held down and in place by a ratchet strap. Naturally I can't lift he whole assembly so I have to assemble the stack in the car and then strap it together. It's not too painful.
