I've heard they employ a rather revolutionary ballast
system for those occasional booming days which utilizes
fuel - guess it's lighter than water!

Just need to start loading the wings around 3am to
be ready for a launch at midday!

What's Vwinch - any ideas?

I guess you could hold a lot of aileron into the turn to keep the
outboard wing climbing. As for trailering, we trailer fuselages from
Kansas to Washington pretty regularly... I work for BNSF Railway... A
Toureg won't hold a candle to a 7,000 hp GE locomotive... 8^)...
