It's often convenient to add a second leading edge pad further towards the rear of the trailer so you can move the wing back far enough to access the cockpit without removing the fuselage.

Also consider draping a microfiber cloth over the pad to avoid wing surface abrasion caused by dirt on the original pad surface - you can wash the cloth now and then.

(2nd pad further towards the rear),
On the span where do the pads usually lie? 3/4 out from root?
Thanks,

Hi Scott

My Ventus maintenance manual specifies 2.5m in from the tip for a wing bed although it doesn't specify a length for it. UH's suggestion sounds real good to me for the size of it

Your Cirrus maintenance manual may well have some guidance in the section on storage, transport and rigging.
