Ok...I give up....I will never complete my Velocity 173 RG as long as it =
is in a hangar in Colorado and I live in Alaska...soooooo...I am going =
down to put it on trailer and truck it 3500 miles to my house here in =
AK.......wide load and all...I am wondering...if I gut it and remove the =
engine and mount if I can move it like a rocket on the launch pad in an =
upright position.....was thinking of building a 'box' out of 2x10 lumber =
to 'mount' on the firewall engine mount holes and setting the Velocity =
fuselage upright on that and strapping the 'box' and gear down to the =
trailer for the long haul..thus no wide load problems....
Does anyone have any idea if the firewall can take the stresses of =
this road trip? I BELIEVE it can but do not know.... Moving it ...one =
way or the other, THANX Jeff Clough
