Hi Dan
Now I can see why you need a trailer. Maybe well have to get Bruce to build us a ramp this summer to get them up of the ground to service them.
Looks real good.
Amazing how many hours it actually takes to get one of these in the air. I have never checked but it sure seems a long time from start to finished. And then when you have made a change and decided you have a better way ,you can spend most of the winter working on the project.

Sure saves the back and gets you right up close when working on it too.
