Put four castor w heels on the bottom of the platform. Make a small wooden ramp with two lat ches to attach it temporarily to the platform. Grab the prop and pull the front wheel up the ramp and let it drop into the hole. Remove the ramp and you can push the plane any direction you want from the prop or cowel. Whe n you get it into position push down on the tail and swing the nose wheel o ff the platform. Remove the platform and swing the nose wheel back into yo ur parking position. If you want a picture send your email address and I w ill forward it to you .
