Trailering Europas

[Nigel Charles <NigelCharles@compuserve.com>]

Assuming the rudder is restrained there is much to be said for trailering
tail first. A very important  aspect is trailer stability. Keeping the bulk
forward and the weight aft minimises directional stability problems. Also
the C of G of the aircraft should be just in front of the trailer wheels to
ensure optimum hitch loading. With a forward facing aircraft this would 
put the wheels further forward which would encourage the tail to wag the
dog even more.
