A set of scales under each wheel is the normal way to check C of g. Moving the battery back can make a big difference . These are old well used thrusters you have except for one. Would have thought the c of g was correctly set up by previous owners. Mind you U I am no expert .

Xairs have a good setup. The battery mount hangs off the fuse tube and when they setup the aircraft the battery is just slid along and fixed in place where the weight is needed. You could do something similar and get rid of your counterweight. Isn't the thruster battery under the seat or just behind it.

Excellent point. But you must get some looks when U tell people U own an aircraft carrier.😁

I towed my xair through bright and over mt Hotham at Christmas so I can say I have had the xair up to 6000 feet. Even on that trip I had people taking photos while I was refuelling in bright.

It's channel 7 so who knows what sort of aircraft it was. Could be a Cessna , a thruster, a gyro or an R22 ,or a balloon .😁

Wings are easy to secure and protect. Done it several times. T 88 has the tail feathers removed because of their width. I have moved my thruster with the tail feathers on but they are 2.6 mt across . I never got any attention from the cops apart from questions about the aircraft. Don't tow an aircraft anywhere if your not prepared to talk to people because they create a lot of interest. I came out of Macca's at Euroa and there were people lined up to sit in it and take photos. Skippy you seem to make things hard for yourself. It's really not .

And you can sell hotdogs and ice cream from it as well.

Yes but you were towing the trailer with your racing car at 120 mph and 7000rpm. 😂

To get the best deal on moving your crate to Sydney list it on one of the freight agent websites. Load shift used to be good but there are better ones out there now. Someone will bring up for you on a backload. If it needs to be dropped at a depot let me know. I can get one of my trucks to do that but for you. No charge if it's not far out of our way.

I can only speak from a lot of experience and have never had problems. Have a look at how well packed the trailer was in my photo. Carpet . Foam and old pillows seperate and protect everything. I don't know how the planes didn't fall to bits according to what I am being told here. A bit insulting really.

dumbass jacinta said it was a combination of wind and heat. she never mentioned they ignored advice about the condition of the transmission towers a few years back.

check your car insurance . policys cover the trailer too. i don't know if that includes what its carrying though.

an airbatic 7 eca

never have any trouble when i move planes, even passing roadtrains going the other way.

Not as flash but the flat bed is great. I prefer my crane truck because the ride is gentle for anything on the back

handy workshop or storage room when not transporting

how long and wide are the crates and where is point of pickup and delivery

powder coating ?

huge difference.

the original owner can be trained in it.

now i have learn't that i can train in a 19 after all. apparently once you transfer a 19 or 28 reg into your name you are automatically classed as the owner builder. i don't know why other than it being raaus way of saying you are fully responsible for the upkeep and airworthiness of said aircraft as opposed to a 55 or 24 which can only be repaired by an authorised person .

ok. i never knew that. its just so convenient for online shopping.

can you do paypal

i was just thinking that😃. apparently i made onetrack sad with my casa comment. sorry ot .

it is 95.55 but its raaus who i am a member of . i don't care about casa.
