Maybe use the trailer and sandbag it to the maximum load capacity with the plane loaded? Then travel at 1:30-2:00 AM SLOOOOW?
Happy New Year

Listers,
I'm sure some of you have faced this: I am very near the point of moving my fuselage to the airport. I planned on renting a truck to take it there. However, I have not been able to find a rental truck that is wide enough for the main gear. Most rental companies have trucks that are around 7'-6" wide. As you know, the gear is a little over 8'-0" wide. I just don't think it is feasible to transport the fuselage without the gear in place.
I have a small (Harbor Freight) trailer that is 4' x 8'. At one point, I designed outriggers to support the main gear wheels, using the 2" x 2" steel tubes bought for airplane construction. It fits, but I'm afraid that this trailer is too light and would bounce too much and damage something.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Any suggestions?
