| Subject: | moving to airport |
I am almost ready to move my project to the airport. It is about 15
miles away. I am planning to hire a flatbed car hauler to take it there
for me. I am down to installing the panel and final assembly.
My question is, where would the best place be on the airframe to connect
the winch to pull the airframe onto the tilted flatbed? Or should it be
winched at all? It seems it would be fairly heavy to push it on safely.
The engine and prop are installed.

We used a tow strap connected to the mains. I steered it on and off the
trailer with tow bar connected to the front wheel.

It really depends on the angle of the car hauler when it's in the down
position. I've see car haulers that get the slope really shallow, and
others like climbing a hill. Either way, if you put a rope bridle on
the steps and use the winch, that should be OK. If the wheel pants
aren't installed, the nose gear should be OK too, as long as the plane
doesn't get hung up going on the trailer. Having a few friends push is
always a good thing.
When we put my Pitts (assembled) on the flat-bed for the Christmas light
parade, we just pushed it up on the trailer. No winch required.

Hi Dave
I went through this process about a month ago. See the pix above.
I found that using 8' ramps, the fuse (along with engine) was surprising
easy to roll onto a flat bed trailer that stood about 2' off the ground.
No winch was necessary. It took 4 people, (one with arm arm in a sling!) to
roll the fuse up the ramp on onto the trailer in a matter of seconds. I
guess it all has to do with moving an object up an inclined plane (I guess I
should have paid more attention in Physics class!).
We nailed blocks fore and aft of the wheels and used heavy duty tire down
straps with tensioners to secure the fuse. It is hard to see, but the straps
on upper end of the gear legs are secured to the opposite side of the
trailer. They cross under the fuse and seemed to hold everything very
secure.
The fuse did not budge at all during the 60 mile move.
If you haven't already, confirm the width of the trailer you are going to
use. I had to search for several days to find a rental trailer that was
over 8' wide. Mine was 8' 3". The -10 wheels are surprisingly far apart.
Cheers
Les

I just wrapped a wide strap around the nose gear area (no fairings)
and used a boat winch, and steered with the towbar. I made
double-ramps that were 8'-10' long each, so that I'd have a very
shallow slope to climb, over about 15' or so. Once on the trailer
I just strapped it down with chocks by strapping the mains and nose
gear to the trailer very tight with cam straps. It rides really
well, actually.

| Subject: | Re: Artic Air cooler |
We have one I got last summer about this time. 38qt with the red cover sing
le hose. I put it in the baggage and pump air over the back seat.( no need
for case of oil back there) Here in Texas It's almost required. My wife and
I flew to Gulf Shores, AL. from Houston TX. on Friday morning and just got
back. It works good on the ground but not that good in the air due to leak
age of air out the plane.
We use it for cranking and taxing and climb to cool air. Does a good job.
-I use gallon and 1/2 gallon milk jugs frozen and then put in a bag of ic
e. Today we put in Three bags of ICE and still had some when we got back to
HOUSTON, (2hr 48 min),but as I said you only use it for about 30 min on ta
xi and climb and then on the way back in for landing.
I find if you use it continuously It lasts about an hr.
-I did just order another Hose a little longer (3FT)so it gets closer to
the front seats.
-I also ordered a 24 to 12 volt converter to try it in my C310.
-Hope this helps.

| Subject: | RV-10 tail kit for sale |
Due to a job change and impending move, I have been forced to postpone
my building plans indefinitely, so I am looking to sell my partially
completed RV-10 tail section. The kit is approximately 60-70% completed,
with the build performed under the supervision of the experts at
Alexander Technical Center. The kit is basically crated and ready for
transport, and I will toss in some small extras I've accumulated (a
fabulous LED strobe/position light and build DVD) if someone will take
this off my hands quickly.
Build photos are at
http://chesbay.smugmug.com/Airplanes/RV-10/8490958_JHene#558588698_HdTr6
Asking $2500, buyer to pick up in east Tennessee (1.5 hours from
Knoxville, 1 hour from Asheville, NC).
Regards,
-- Chris

Dave I am about 2 months from making the move myself. When it's all moved don't
be afraid to post what worked and what didn't. I don't have the towbar yet, so
I guess I need to start there, but I was leaning towards using the nose gear
and the winch.

Hi Chris,
I am wondering about your Build DVD. Is that doicumentation of the work
you';ve done thus far, of instructional/informative, produced by someone
else. If it is the later, can I ask where you got it from?
Good luck selling your tail kit.
Thanks,

Hi, John,
The DVD is "RV Builder Basics" by Les Bourne from Skyward Media. I
think it's very good for someone embarking on such a project -- I used
it as a preview of what I was in for when I went to Alexander Tech
Center for my course on building, and I've used it since to review
techniques I learned there.
Regards,
-- Chris

I moved mine with the tail cone on, but the engine off, so my experience is not
so relevant. It was very easy for me to winch up using the tail tie-down. As
others said, measure the bed width of the truck. The place where I rented this
truck had 2 tilt-beds, but only one was wide enough, and just then barely.
