I made a pair of stabilisers that bolt to the wheel hanging arm on a U frame, there were some pictures of a similar contraption on the builder photo pages. My son also made, as a collage project, a pair of wheels on axels that poke in the wheel hub with a support 'A' frame that bolted to the top of the hanging wheel arm. I ll see if I can find some pictures.

Because there is not much room in my single garage and IF it both trailer and fuselage will go in, there will not be enough room to work on/under it as well.

Although I have EXTREMELY LIMITED experience of loading / unloading the mono from the Europa trailer, I share your concerns. I believe that with future operations I will be stabilizing the fuselage w/ a ratcheting tension strap on both sides of the cockpit secured to the door sill with a custom slip-on bracket, thence down to the trailer frame.
BTW, best of luck w/ your STOL experiments…sounds like you’ve designed a reasonable plan, though personally, I would want to have very high confidence in the mechanics of any moveable leading edge slats in order to avoid the obvious problems w/ assymetry.

I'm considering a mono but wondering how the a/c fuselage is loaded and unloaded on/off of the traditional mono trailer. I don't have much drive space at home and would really like to be able to load and unload without using the wings to prevent the fuselage from 'rolling over' when the main wheel is out of the 'scoop' platform. What is the considered view about this - can it be done and if so what solutions have people developed please? Clive

Something I have done many times to take my mono off its trailer is to take off the top cowl and hoist it up (engine hoist or hoist from a beam in the garage). Useful to check uc retraction, adjust bungee , or work on engine. Just make sure it's secure!
