Hi Alan,

I also installed two attachment points in the form of ss 8mm eyebolts immediately behind where the legs enter the fuselage. You drill from inside the baggage area, through the embedded steel plate, and using large washers inside and out to distribute the load. It's a simple job.

Hello All
I am thinking of using a trailer for my Tri Gear,
I will need to winch the aircraft onto a trailer, nose first.
The way i see it, you can attach a 3 web straps to the inner part of the Prop, not sure if this is a good idea.?
Or straps to the tops of the undercarriage struts, but a small area of leg fairing will will need to be removed to accommodate the straps the strap going round the top of the leg and between the brake pipe , this seem to be a Strong place to connect to, maybe some type of bolt on towing eye affixed to the top of the legs then nylon straps to cable and winch may have been developed.
Or straps to the bottom of the undercarriage legs the fairing at this point is not in the way, nor is the brake pipe.
I don,t really want to drill and fix to the fuselage.
Any ideas on this, Winching and trailering.
Regards
Alan

Karl,

do you by chance have a (close up) of your arrangement (both sides)? I 'm also trailering my aircraft and use the torque tube for winching the aircraft backwards on the trailer; but this solution (although working principally well) is not satisfactory in the long run due to structural concerns.

Thanks.

Hi Roland,

My fuselage is currently with the Rotax agent for engine repairs. However, the eyebolts should be easy to visualize: they are just aft and inboard of the leg entry points and very close to the leg fairing when installed. When you installed the legs, you probably remember the socket you had to bond in first ? You want to make sure that you drill through the base plate of this socket and not just through fibreglass.
I found the eyebolts at a chandlers shop for marine applications.
