Trailering a Onex…

Postby N21X » Sat Sep 25, 2021 1:09 am

Looking for ideas to set my Onex up for trailering. Specifically looking for ideas on a harbor freight folding trailer setup.

Pics welcomed.

I improved on this original by adding a stronger jack in the middle of the ramp and used an extension on my drill to operate the jack. Can load and unload by myself in 15 minutes,

How do you plan to support the wings? I've always read that it's not recommended to trailer the plane with the wings installed.

Thanks for the video, that was very helpful. I have about a 20-25 min drive to the airport so I would lije to transport it all in one piece.
