Roger,

"Fuse strapped down"????

I don't nor have I seen a Europa being strapped down for travel.  Guess my
head is in the sand, nothing un-common.  Can you or the group provide some
more information on this and maybe some pics? Am I lucky it hasn't jumped
off of it's trailer while I have been dragging it around the countryside?

Thanks,

Steve

Yes - but make sure that the trailer is anchored, the fuse is strapped down
and that the wings and the elevators are removed. The wing supports should
be hinged down on the ground as otherwise the straps may fret.
