Sure enough Ross, that would be a good idea.
I don't get the tail wheel spring issue personally. Ive seen photos so I suppose they are not joking but.... when we land a conventional gear plane we must be setting it down as if it were an egg shell. Hard to believe that that part is so fragile. I have been given a lead to someone here who may be able to trailer it. I will keep you posted. Unfortunately ( or fortunately if your looking at finances ) I have to work the overnight shifts this weekend. I may get the thing washed and waxed though.
