Hi Cliff,
The 20 G has to be dampened and the landing gear is doing just that. The
factory trailer fixes the main wheel (mono) and the tail wheel. Result is,
the aircraft is moving on it's own suspension in relation to the trailer.
Now, if you would fix any other part of the aircraft to the trailer, the
whole shock load will be applied to that point. So unless that point is
very large, such as the major part of the bottom or so, damage will occur.
My worry with the factory trailer would be the forces during cornering,
where there will be a lot of force on the rim of the mair wheel.
