> I=99ve only transported wings once so Im no expert. But I put
one wing (Xtra) at a time top of my Subaru (Outback),
on movers=99 blankets, and it workt fine. Better I think would be
against trailer=99s vertical wall, tied so it won=99t sway
and
bang, leading edge down. If it has VG=99s be SURE you dont let
them punch a hole in the fabric, and check the load
every 100 miles or so. Good Luck!

everything but the fuselage. What is the best way to transport the
wings? They are covered and I believe the ailerons are still attached.

the mesh ramp). I am planning on putting the engine, prop, nose pod,
etc in the van. My trailer is not enclosed but it does have sides that
come up about 3' with some boards covering steel. I can either lay one
wing down on the floor (with foamboard or a mattress underneath) then
put something between the other one on top of that. Then I can strap it
down somehow. The other option would be to have foamboard or other
protection along the sidewall and on the floor and stand the wing up,
put a layer between them and put the next wing beside it, another layer
of protection on the outside of that wing and strap it in somehow. The
third option would be to stand one wing up along one side and the other
along the other side by itself. I'm not certain any of those are the
best option.
