Vert stab/flaperon protection when trailering

[rgeer1]

I had a plane delivered out of NC on a 42 ft drop deck flat. Plane was not a KitFox I'm sorry to say,it was a Hipps Reliant. But the idea the young man had gives the same results. He went to Lowes and bought 10ft pieces of plastic pipe cut it the desired lengths and covered it with black pipe insulation the same length . 1 piece each side of the rudder and elevator and tied with string. U can do the same with the folded wing aerilons and employed the seat belt and stick trick also. It will all work together To stop unwanted move movement.

The elevator will hit the flaperons when the stick is about half way back.

I tried the conventional gust lock on the elevator but I found it took too much time to install and remove for my liking.

here's a photo of my hen house method.

I have a fin-cover consisting of two boards protected by carpet.
The Elevator will be lock by fixing the stick with the belt in cockpit or
I use two small boards which I could mount like the fin-cover before.

I use a system like Olaf's for the rudder/vert stab as well as the elevator/horz stab
