Gents,
Ive often had concerns about the stability of the mono wheel fuselage when it
rides
along the road on its bespoke trailer...(couldnt resist the opportunity to
use this very British utterance).
When my mind imagines the moment arms and the mass, stabilized solely by the
capturing
of the sides of the LG02 retraction arm within the sides of the tilt-up
ramp, I fear that the fuselage tipping over, contacting the wings or worse,
is just a heartbeat away.
I have similar concerns about the stability of the fuselage while on the trailer
during the attaching and removal of the wingsan operation Ive yet to attemptbut
the amount of the forces in play that Ive experienced when attaching the wings
when the fuselage sits on a cradle in the shop gives me pause.
Can I hear from those w/ actual experience as to whether or not my fears are
unfounded?or
is the fuselage stabilized by some additional means by which I am unaware?
