That's very interesting and kind of you to share.  Was it you who also mentioned
they have an LAA approved 100 Ltr ferry tank and, if so, are you able to share
the details of that Mod?

Kind regards
Richard CC

For Michel and anyone else interested,  I attach a brief description of my dolly
which has proved very satisfactory for plane handling, working on the 
undercarriage
and for transport in a covered trailer. It was made originally for another
mono, but when he converted to a trike I bought the trailer and fitted captive
nuts to my plane by simply drilling through the existing bolt holes in the
dolly and then bonding in nuts and largish washers on the inside of the fuselage
together with a bit of appropriate local strengthening. As far as I can
see none of the measurements are particularly critical although of course the
fibreglass bearing surfaces need to be nicely matched to the fuselage. Having
said that you do need to design it so that you can get it underneath the plane
in its normal wings on position. Can send further views + measurements if anyone
is keen to pursue it.
