I have a cradle made to hold the tail and the wing tube. Holding the plane this way gives it the best support as the wing tube is the stronger part of the airframe and keeps the weight off the landing gear/wheels. It’s a tight fit and I have set the plane in at a slight angle. I can snap a few photos and send them to you tomorrow. This has worked well few several years for me and I have my plane with me most of the time… just in case you get that opportunity and your near an RC field.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Wayne Galligan</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">Michael Gosson via NSRCA-discussion</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, October 25, 2017 8:49 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a><br><b>Subject: </b>[NSRCA-discussion] Transporting a Two Meter Plane in Pickup Truck</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I need a little advise from anyone that transports a two meter plane in a pickup truck without a cap.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I'm considering purchasing a pickup truck with a 6.6 foot box and flat hard cover over the box, a cap is not in consideration.
