Moving a 6A with the wings on
I helped my friend move his 6A with the wings on in '96. He built it at his house and wanted to move it to his hangar about 20 miles away. He, being a retired NASA engineer, said he would never take those wings off and put them back on again. We did a "trial run" the week before with a couple of cane poles taped together the length of the wing span so we could measure for interference with mail boxes, sign posts, utility poles, etc. He had planned the route for back-country roads, and because it involved two counties here in Alabama he requested escorts from the sheriff's offices. He also planned on an early Sunday morning transport, but for some reason, we moved it early on a Saturday morning. I would not want to move it in heavy traffic.
We moved it on his son's flatbed trailer pulled by a Ford F250 pickup. Getting it up on the trailer was no small feat. One thousand pounds does not sound like much in terms of aircraft weight, but we could have used better winches, etc. We moved it nosewheel first on the trailer, with the wings just like you'd fly it, straight into the wind.
We had several cars to lead and follow the caravan, and we used radios for communications.
Moving a 6A with wings on can be done, but plan carefully. We were extra careful when crossing major highways and at known "tight spots" (from our trial run the previous week).
I didn't ask him about a "wide load" permit, but looking back, I would guess we were probably supposed to have one.
Good luck.
