I have purchased a Williams Space Shuttle from a seller about 100
miles away. I need to move it and from the photos I can't tell if/how
the top may flip down. The seller doesn't think it is removable.

If anything can provide details I'd appreciate it. I've not moved a
game that far previously - if you have any tips to best protect it I
would like to know. Assuming it can be made to fit I will be using an
older Ford Aerostar SUV.

If it's like soorcerer (likely), you take out the bolts then the head folds down via
a piano hinge at the top of the neck.

If it's like the older style (fiirepower), you disconnect the white and black
connectors, disconnect the ground cable, take out the bolts and then the head lifts
completely off.

TAKE THE BALLS OUT. Put some cardboard between the head and the body. Wrap the
whole thing in shrinky dink, or use a ratcheting strap (not too tight that you bend
the rails!) to hold the head to the body.
