Hi Garey,
If you are thinking that your project is going to slowly after building the
empenage, and you even have a quick built, my advise to you would be to
forget about building all together, sell the kit and buy something that fly

For those wondering how to move an airplane from the house to the airport,..
Here is a visual. Note that the picture with the black trailer is how
someone looks who just realizes that a car hauler is NOT wide enough. If it
has fenders,.. It isn't wide enough ;-(
An hour later, we had moved up to a 30,000 lb dozer trailer (CDL required)
which turned out to be perfect! The ramp angle kept the tail high, 8ft +
wide bed was just right. With just the gear and the engine mounts tied
down, it moved around some which was good but didn't move forward or back.
It takes a pretty good assortment of heavy tie downs but it really wasn't as
much of a problem as I thought it would be. 45 mph on the freeway was easy,
the problem was with the side roads which were pretty rough with a heavy
trailer and no load. A 20 mile trip in about 40 minutes. Took 5 minutes to
set the ramps and back it off.
Good Bogy-Bar is a requirement!
If's funny, I was a nervous Nellie but my buddy's who did the majority of
the loading were just fearless. As Allen said, " who cares, it's not my
airplane". (arms raised ;-) Apparently that takes all the stress off :-)
