Lot easier if the truck is sitting still....:-)
I would go nose first...secure the main gear to the floor with straps
that go under 2X2's that are screwed to the floor in front and at the
rear of the wheels..
I would elevate the tail boom a bit in front of the horiz stab....on
a pedestal that is screwed to the floor... maybe 5 or 6 inches wide and
cushioned with thick foam or couch cushion.. Strap that ....
Drop the wings to the floor on Couch cushions leaving them attached
at the rear spar.... secure the wings with some long straps..

=C2-the wings want to drag on the ground if you run them up a ramp that i
s too steep, I like to put the tail under a 5 gallon bucket and always use
pipe insulation around the tail and ailerons . also saran packing wrap help
s hold thing together without=C2- chaffing .and never store things inside
the fuselage that can shift and poke holes in the fabric.=C2-Malcolm & J

Thanks for that Herb and Russ. I assume ramps would be need to lift it
into the truck (or a couple of weight lifters)?
