| Subject: | Re: Flatbed Tow Truck To Hangar |
Moved my -10 a week ago about 4 miles from rented hangar to garage, so I would
work on it more often (only been at it 9+ years, with the auto engine conversion!).
Rented a SNOW MOBILE trailer, which had a 8.5' wide x 10' long tilt-bed.
Worked great. Rear tie-down ring did drag a bit with the angle when loading, but
that's why I had it in place. Wings in a cradle on casters went on the second
trip. We hot-rodded it all of 17 mph max on paved streets, to baby my baby.
Rental cost was only $50 for the day, and I could control the whole process. Used
a ratchet pull winch for the loading and unloading, to a rope around the nose
gear. That too worked well, if slowly.

Snow Mobile trailer. Didn't think of that. There's one close by for
$60/day. Thanks.

That's what I used, too. The catch was, I have a wide trailer, I think
100" or something
near that side. Some of the older, narrower ones won't quite do it.

As yet another method...
Sometimes you can make a narrower flatbed trailer work w/o too much effort.
I helped move Mark Cooper's RV-10 with Paul Grimstad and his flatbed trailer
that is a bit too narrow for the RV-10 wheelbase. You can see pictures of
the required lumber additions to his tilt deck flatbed to "widen" it a bit.
Worked well but did take $50 or so in boards and a screws and about 30 min
work in the Oregon rainshine that day.

I also hired a roll down bed truck. Turns out the wench driving it was a former
A&P. She was being more careful with the fuselage than I was. A real Renaissance
woman.

This is how we moved to paint shop for four hour drive. Very secure and easy to
move. This skid will be available to anyone to use after it returns back.....only
problem is it weighs half as much as complete plane.
