I suggest the lesser traveled roads. I used a flat bed trailer similar =
to what you are talking about. =20
My first trip was to carry the fuselage, nose first with the canard =
under the fuselage. Then the 2nd trip we carried the wings.
Here in NC, I had to get a $12 permit from the state DOT for the wider =
than 8'-6" load. It was good for 10 days in case of rain, etc. I had to =
have a "Wide Load" banner on the front of my pickup and rear of the =
trailer and red flags on the ends of the strake. =20
See http://home.sprintmail.com/~rolandbrown/page60.html
I had an escort vehicle in front by 100' or so with flashers going to =
get folks awake before meeting the wider load behind. All went well.

Subject: REFLECTOR:Speaking of moving...
My project is getting close to moving from a garage to the airport.
My thinking is roll the fuselage onto a flatbed people use to =
transport race cars, tie it down good and drive it down to the airport. =
The airport is about 20 miles away.
I could take the freeway most of the way, or I can go entirely on the =
surface road. Both has pros and cons.
Interstate:
a.. Smoother rides=20
b.. Constant speeds=20
c.. Shorter transit times=20
d.. More speed =3D=3D dynamic aerodynamic force=20
e.. Encounters with heavies (18 wheelers, etc)=20
f.. State patrolled.=20
Surface Roads:
a.. Bumpier and irregular rides=20
b.. Many starts and stops=20
c.. Less large vehicles=20
d.. Municipally patrolled=20
e.. Less dynamic stress=20
f.. Longer transit times=20
Are there opinions on what works better for doing this? Obviously, I =
will be doing this in the wee hours of the morning when traffic is less =
of a factor. With the Strake about 11ft wide, I am guessing I would =
need a wide load permit. Would that be the cities that are involved =
(3-4 of them)? Or the state DoT?
Would it be better to load it tail forward? (Will not try to take =
off?) or nose first (Less chance for the center section spar to snag =
something?) Canard off or not?
Any tips or tricks?
