Moving a glider with a U-Haul Truck
Does anybody have any experience moving a Standard/15m class sailplane
with a U-Haul truck or similar? I see this as an option for self-retrieving from a *long* straight out XC flight -- no-crew and no returning home to get your trailer (and then back to the glider and back home -- makes me tired just talking about it...) I'm thinking you could do this with a bare, box truck (say a 26' long U-Haul) with ONLY ratchet tie-down straps and some pads (i.e., stuff available anywhere). This includes the fueslage and wings. With a loading ramp I figure you could do it with one helper. Has anyone tried this? Eric ER |
