Hello All
I am thinking of using a trailer for my Tri Gear, 
I will need to winch the aircraft onto a trailer,  nose first.
The way i see it, you can attach a 3 web straps to the inner part of the Prop,
not sure if this is a good idea.?
Or straps to the tops of the undercarriage struts, but a small area of  leg 
fairing
will will need to be removed to accommodate the straps the strap going round
the top of the leg and between the brake pipe  , this seem to be a Strong
place to connect to, maybe some type of bolt on towing eye affixed to the top
of the legs then nylon straps to cable and winch may have been developed.
Or straps to the bottom of the undercarriage legs the fairing at this point is
not in the way, nor is the brake pipe.
I don,t really want to drill and fix to the fuselage. 
Any ideas on this, Winching and  trailering. 
Regards
Alan
