I'm afraid I don't have a trailer but you can move it in a 7.5 tonne tail lift
lorry.
The fuselage and wings fit nicely,we have done this several times both in a cradle
and with the undercarriage fitted.
As it happens here's a picture of us moving it from St Albans around 2007....

| Subject: | silicone classic hose set - reviews and availability? |
Hi folks, my bird is due for a full set, and I was debating whether to go
for the factory hoses or the blue silicone hoses I've seen advertised and
mentioned in the past on the list.
are these still available? And if they are, do folks have some reviews on
their longevity etc?
Cheers and thanks,
Pete

Before I converted my aircraft from Classic to "Nev Eyre" firewall forward, six
years ago, I had a full silicone set from the Swedish? guy and they were excellent!
When I did the conversion, I bought the appropriate replacement hoses and
they're also superb. But don't do like a friend of mine and let a silicone
hose clad in reflective fire-sleeve touch the silencer, because it did eventually
burn through and leak.
One word of warning. Use good quality jubilee clips, which have both edges angled
a little away from the hose surface to avoid cutting into the silicone. "Cheepo"
hose clips are a definite no-no! Also good are the clips which you open
wider with vice grips to slide over the hoses before releasing the grips, once
each clip is in the desired position.
I don't know whether the Swedish? guy still advertises in the club magazine. I
believe that rubber hoses should be changed very 5 years, while silicone ones
should last at least 10.
