    Trailering from Texas to California recommendations

    There are points that can be tied down hard, such as the main wheels. I do this all the time on 190s,195s, 180s, 172s, etc. Never ever any stress damage in 20 years of hauling. If you tie directly under the structure you will have no problem with the flexing, it's when you go to an extreme...

    Looks like a Mustang?

    Trailering from Texas to California recommendations

    I have been moving all sorts of aircraft across the lower 48 for the past 15 years. I have moved everything from hanggliders to Lockheed Harpoons. Most of what I used to haul with was a Dodge diesel 3/4 ton. Since you have it on a trailer, it would be cheaper to move it yourself. But I do...

    I had been searching for a project for some time now. Have plans for a few aircraft, ie. LMA-5W, Ragwing RW-6, Mini Max 1600R, Volksplane, just hadn't decided on where to start...

    Too bad it was not declared as a UFO, feds would be telling us it was Swamp gas.
