Yes, how will it do.
The DA11 has 45 degrees of "bank" on it's trailer, many canards park with the prop 30 degrees or so up. How would a typical engine (Rotax, O200) deal with vertical parking, being the prop pointing straight up or straight down?

I can think of the "obvious" ones, fuel, carb and oil venting requires some though and should obviously be above the engine when it's vertical.

I guess you need to turn the engine before starting to remove the oil from the cylinders etc?

Anything else that one should think about or that makes it impossible?
