Been reading through many towing threads piecing together information, just to be cautious figured I’d post and ask questions, new to aviation and buying my first Kitfox 4, it’s a 1050. Cant fly it home, itll be about 200 miles.
What’s the best setup for an open side railed trailer like the one pictured? Load it backwards, fold wings of course, empty fuel in the wings, can I get away with only ratchet straps? It’s not my trailer so fabricating metal or screwing blocks to the floor isn’t an option.
I seen you need to support the tail wheel, could I do this also with just ratchet straps? Is recommended speed 50mph or could you drive quicker? It’ll be behind a pickup, I would assume the pickup would divert allot of air away from the planes tail would it not?
