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.

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. >> >> For those of you who have transported loose wings, what suggestions would you have with what I have to work with? >> >> Thanks, >> Jay >> >> >> >> >> Read this topic online here: >> >> http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=494771#494771 >> >> >> >> >> Attachments: >> >> http://forums.matronics.com//files/trailer_706.jpg >> >> >> =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== =========== >> >> >> >
