Puzzled by how to move your
finished aircraft or new project to your site? Use me or my trailer for air or
ground transport.
The Pilot –
treats your airplane like he treats his own. I have ATP, CFI, and
A&P ratings and 2800 tailwheel hours in more than 40 makes and
models, including 8 biplanes. (I have not flown a nosewheel airplane
since 1991 -- and that was a PanAm 727.) I know how to hand prop
and how to flight plan for low-horsepower, short-range, NORDO aircraft.
I do not push fuel, weather, or darkness; I have had enough successful
forced landings from mechanical problems. Recent types delivered: Piper Pawnee,
T-craft, Citabria, PA-11, Ryan PT-22, Globe Swift, Waco UPF-7, and numerous Aeronca
Champs and J-3s.
The
Trailer – can be adapted to carry almost any kind of small tailwheel project.
You can also rent it to do your own delivery.
Food for Thought –
Many times the aircraft being delivered has not flown for a long time and
will need some attention along the way. A recent delivery of an
Aeronca L-3 from Connecticut to Texas started as a flying delivery but due to
mechanical problems along the way it finished as a trailer delivery. In this
case we were lucky enough to lose oil pressure near my home, and it was easy
to get my aircraft project recovery trailer and the L-3 together.
