AIRCRAFT DISASSEMBLY:

8.3

TRANSPORTING THE AIRCRAFT:

1.
For road transportation a closed trailer should be used. The components should be cushioned and
protected against slippage or free movement. Chocks for all three wheels are excellent for this
purpose.
2.
The fuselage is transportable on the main gear and tail wheel. The fuselage unit should be tied
down or blocked to prevent fore and aft and vertical movement. The propeller should be checked
to insure enough clearance in the trailer.
3.
The wings do not have to be removed for road transportation The wing remains attached to the
fuselage by the telescopic-tube. When folded, the wing should be cushioned by a 400 mm wide
profile cushion under the butt rib. This will prevent the telescopic tube from damage. An
additional profile cushion should be placed about 4 in (13 ft) outboard of the butt rib. The
cushion should be at least 300 mm (14 in) high.
The wing should be tied down to prevent rearward movement. The rear shear bolt on the
fuselage should be padded to prevent damage to the wing skin.
The horizontal fin and elevator can be placed in the trailer flat or vertically. The retaining straps
or profile cushions must be cushioned or padded to prevent damage to the unit.
