I asked Van's about getting the 12 into an enclosed trailer with the wings off. I pointed out that as a nose wheel plane, the tail would stick up higher than most enclosed trailers. Their answer was to devise some way to hold the tail down while in the trailer. Anothe way of saying this is to say to make it a taildragger while in the trailer. Guess there is no hope of a flying taildragger.

Maybe just a ramp for the front tire to bring the tail down. Or, an enclosed tail enclosure on the trailer like you see on the glider trailers?
Why not haul like this?
Could fixed an enclosed up like this.
I lifted this image from the folks over at Alpha Omega Aircrafters (http://www.aoaircrafters.com/livp-t.asp). Good people. Randy is president of our EAA chapter. (Randy, sorry about the theft of your image.)
