| Subject: | 601xl trailer plans?? |
Anyone built a trailer for the 601xl including a spot for both wings [open NOT
enclosed trailer] and keeping it Hwy legal [under 2.4m wide].I'm looking at modifying
a 5m boat trailer by putting the tail towards the front and the main wheels
just aft of the trailer wheels but wider.Cheers

"Thruster87"
I did a design for my 4' x 8' trailer for the fuselage alone.? That doesn't sound
like it would work for you, but I'd be glad to share the drawings with you
if you want.?
My main comment is about placing the airplane's wheels aft of the trailer's wheels.?
That is going to produce an uplift at the trailer hitch, which is not a
good situation.? It would be much better to put the airplane's wheels forward
of the trailer's wheels to ensure that there will be positive load on the hitch.

Hi Alan,
The attached image was one I saved back because it was a well done
construct for the tail dragger 601. For a tri gear, this would be a bit
different, but doable.

It's the old weight and balance coming in to play here and having the wheels aft
would be the why to go but the track would be to wide [max width 8' or 2.4m
above this would need Police escorts with flashing lights,route feasibility study
and permits].With the boat trailer there is properly 100 + kg forward of the
axle[and it's 4m long with the hitch,winch and jockey wheel support right at
the end of the lever arm] so I'm hoping this will counter act the a/c weight.I'm
still trying to figure out the best way to support the main wheels and how
to make the ramps as I do like the way it's done in the above pics Cheers

I hauled mine on a borrowed car trailer. I had an 8 ' deck and was much lon
ger than needed.We crossed the Canadian border with no problems. There are
landscaper trailers at Tractor supply around here that would do the job. De

| Subject: | Dynon Pitot Mounting Bracket |
I am replacing the original pitot/static probe with the Dynon AOA. Question; do
you use the short or long (RV style) mounting bracket. Dynon recommends to have
the probe at least 6" below the wing.
Thanks

I called Dynon and made mine as they recommended, 6". I figured they know what
it needs to be.
