I took a 2 x 12 across the top of the trailer bolted it down and I took another 2 x 12 and extended off the back of the trailer and tied down the tailwheel. I pulled my KR number times from different locations like this with no problem. Need a nice riding trailer so you don't beat the engine around. I tied everything down at the wheels and let the gear move.I slid the wings underneath the fuselage with foam in between them and I put carpet over the top and nail the carpet down to the trailer.
