I also have a Harbor Freight trailer that is 4x8, 12" tires, and a
GVW of 1980lbs. It was way too stiff to haul a light fuselage so
removed two of the springs on each side. I took my fuselage (without
engine) on a roundtrip of 3,600 miles with no problems.

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?
