    Thank you Neville. Looks like you've been busy splitting and stacking firewood, too.

    Steve, here are two more pics which show the telescoping of the cradle shaft. As the cradle cannot be disconnected from the A/C until the wings are unfolded, the cradle must follow the fuselage. Hence the telescoping. Otherwise the entire dolly would be lifted as the tail rises.

    Note the removable triangle and scissor jack at front of trailer to lower tail so it can fit in the garage. Now i may have to to do slight mods because John has me talked into 8.50 tires.

    I have recently purchased a nearly complete Kitfox 4 1200, which currently has the wings and horizontal removed. I need to get an enclosed trailer to transport the aircraft and all parts about 1400 miles, so I'm wondering what is the overall width LE to LE with the wings folded ?

    Ken-

    Great looking trailer and mounting system. I have a similar trailer for my as yet unfinished Kitfox 4. What is the length of your trailer, from hitch to wheels ? Do the main gear ramps pivot off the ground automatically when the wheels roll past the pivot point ?

    Do you still have this trailer and aircraft ? I may want to come have a look some day if you are in Zephyrhills.
