Here we are for the next to last photo detail. As mentioned before, I'll do some measuring and post the results. 

       First photo shows how the lift cable is attached and routed thru the pulleys. It is a continous loop from the left  ramp to the right ramp with enough length to reach the front of the box frame where you can attach it to the winch cable.

     Next photo is the ramp attach detail. Here you can see the wall thickness of the pivots and how the ramp attaches. Don't forget to slide the ramp axle into the pivots before they are welded in. Seems like a no brainer, but easy to overlook, especially for someone like me who has been loosing 250,000 brain cells a day since I was 21 , which was a few years ago.

     Next is the  view of the tailwheel guide.  This is made up of  1 1/2 inch angle iron spaced 3 inches apart. It is 136 inches long.

 This comes in very handy for guiding the plane on the trailer. You can also see the lift cable loop where I have it clipped to a tiedown ring, and NO! The big green thing at the end of the tongue is not my plane!

   Next message will cover the tailwheel support.  BYE!   Floyd

Great photo sequence Floyd!  Excellent job.   I've moved them all to a folder for future reference and use if necessary.   Thanks for keeping the photo attachments of a reasonable size.  It was no  problem for my dialup.  Let us know how your first voyage  goes.
