Re: Europa-List: Stabilizing the airframe when on the monowheel trailer

[NevEyre@aol.com]

NO NO NO !
The drag sockets were designed / stressed to take lift / drag loads only,  
the shock loads that could be transmitted from a bracket on a trailer, whilst on

 tow, would be far too high.
Figure on seeing ''blips'' as high as 20G over poor roads, even with the  
soft /light duty suspension fitted to the Europa trailer.
As a general rule, never use airframe fittings, including the tailplane  
torque tube, to support /retain the plane on a trailer.
The main gear swinging arm was designed to support /capture the plane  during 
transit.
Cheers,
