Moved the project 30 miles to the airport yesterday. We used a low-boy trailer used for moving heavy construction equipment. The plane is about 90-92 inches wide. the trailer is 8' giving about 2-3 inches on each side. There was also plenty of room for the wings.



It was very cool. The driver disconnects the trailer in front and sets it on the ground via hydo lift. The the rise is only about 12" over a 10 foot ramp so that the tail does not hit the ground or the trailer when loading.           Then the driver reattaches the trailer and off he goes to the airport. The unload only took 20 minutes.

I was not able to locate a lowboy trailer in my area, so I hired a tilt-bed tow truck. Worked great. The lady who schedules the trucks used to be an A & P, so knew all about how to secure the fuselage, etc. Cost me $100. Between the -10 and my Pitts, my wife's car sat outside for 7 winters. A very tolerant woman.
