Paul,
With immense difficulty – especially when the launch site is over 1400 kms
away! It was decided initially the rocket would be comprised of and transported
in 3 pieces. The nose section and mid section were both transported up on large
car trailers, but the fin section was effectively too large for that so it was
decided to cart that up via (largish) truck. As it turned out, one of the
volunteers transporting the nosecone buggered the turbo in his new car in the
process and finished up buying a whole new car on the journey back.
Of course, getting it there was a major logistical exercise, but erecting it
was a-whole-nother story :-)

Very nice! I'm curious how you got a 45-foot long rocket out to the launch site.
