    Default trailering a kitfox

    I'm starting this thread to get an idea on what it's like to have a kitfox in an enclosed trailer for purpose of storing it as well as traveling with it. What I mean is, I want to travel to another area pull my fox out and go flying, why? I was asked that today by somebody and my response was, I can't fly down to lets say calwell area anymore with the wife. She is unable to do that. I have a motorhome and I like the idea of driving to a flyin or just go to an area unload my plane and fly into the back country. wife would stay behind and enjoy her tv. I would in turn have the freedom to enjoy life that I can do and have a place the hang my hat after flying.

    what I would like to know is the ease of going into an airport and unloading my plane from this trailer(trouble from the airport managers). Now this will be a specially built trailer by Sorenson over in Georgia. it's built and set up with FAA AC25-35C, which meets the faa guidelines for tying down and securing an aircraft for public use airports. what this trailer has is actual tie downs on the sides for tying to a spot on the ramp and takes up the same foot print as a 182. Of course I'll have a motorhome which I should be able to disconnect and park somewhere else. Of course I don't feel I even need to go out on the ramp, anywhere so I can unload and go have some fun.

    I would like real life experiences with people that have some sort of trailer and have gone to airports to unload and fly their airplane.

    Look at thread "trailering enclosed trailer". The guy who has done exactly what you are saying all over the country is "teamkitfox7788".
