That is pretty much what I do every time I move a plane. I have a landscape type trailer with side rails that are about a foot over the deck of the trailer. I put a long 2 X 12 across the back, roll the plane up some ramps so it is on the board, strap the wheels down to the board, then with one person on each side we slide the board forward on the side rails to the front.
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: KR> KRnet Digest, Vol 2, Issue 271 From: Randall Smith via KRnet <krnet at list.krnet.org> List-Post: krnet@list.krnet.org Date: Mon, October 20, 2014 11:55 am To: "krnet at list.krnet.org" <krnet at list.krnet.org> 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.
