Nic here.
I've seen the coolest full box trailer for a Titan Tornado at the field the
other week.
It had an overhead extendable I-beam w/ a roller car on it.
The fellow used it to extract the fuselage with childlike ease.
A most simple up/down winch is on the tip.
A few moments and its on the deck.
After repositioning the fuselage by rolling it around 90 degrees,
he then used the gantry to "be" the other hand on the wingtip for assembly.
Assembled not only one personed, but nearly one handed.
This technique should work w/ the stub spars.
I'm doin' it this way ohyeahbaby!!!
I might have drawings soon.
zzz
