Revision 25
8.4.5. Road Transport
When transporting the airplane on the road, it is recommended that you use an open trailer. All
airplane components must be stored on a cushioned surface and secured to avoid any
movement during transport.
A. Fuselage
The fuselage should be secured on the trailer standing on its wheels. Ensure that the
propeller has sufficient free space so it cannot be damaged if the fuselage were to move.
B. Wings
For transportation, both wings must be removed from the fuselage.
To avoid any damage, the wings are stored in upright position on the leading edge with
the root rib area positioned on an upholstered profiled surface of at least 1 ft. 4 in. (400
mm) width. The outside wing area (approximately 10 ft. (3 m) from the root rib area) is
placed on an upholstered profiled surface of a minimum of 12 in. (305 mm) width.
The wings must be secured against movement rearward or forward.
C. Horizontal Stabilizer
The horizontal stabilizer is stored flat on the trailer and secured, or in an upright position
sitting on the leading edge on a profiled surface. All supports must be upholstered with
felt or foam rubber.
