For the purpose of this question please allow the vat of molten metal to be 20 feet deep and that the vat contains molten steel. I would very much be obliged for seriously considered answers to this question as I am genuinely curious to know and wonder if it might be possible to conduct experiments to find out for sure if a theoretical answer is not sufficient. Thank you. -------- out of sight out of mind Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=303553#303553 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:48:55 AM PST US From: "Fergus Kyle" Subject: Europa-List: Europa trailer height? I measured my monowheel on the trailer (no fin-top items) attached to my car and found close to 6'9'. With the trailer disengaged, I would guess it to be too tight to fit under 6'3", especially over the bumps unless you tied the tail down under compression and lowered the trailer tongue. Under-inflating the main won't do it either, but perhaps removing the tailwheel would give a few more inches.....

Luc, I agree with Karl, why complicate it. I personally tow my plane to and from the airfield every flight. Additionally, I have towed the plane on a couple of very long trips over 500 miles each without issue. Except for the local trips, I remove the tailplanes and store them in the tow v ehicle. They move around too much on the trailer. I also add an extra s trap over and around the monowheel/wheel ramp/support structure keeps th at end from moving around. I also know of another builder that towed hi s Europa from Arizona to Nebraska and back a few times without issue on the standard Europa trailer. That is almost 1,000 miles each way. The added benefit of towing the Europa on its trailer is that you are ab le to keep an eye on it from the tow vehicle. Either way you go (trail er in a trailer or just trailer) make sure the wing supports fit snug. I think the sling is much better than the foam supports Europa had for a while. I replaced mine with a 4" wide strap covered with carpet. Seems to work well. Good luck.
