RE: Securing large wings in a trailer
Hey Tom, good to finally see your trailer!
Here is how I carry my wings. Because I can transport them like this I build them full length, no need to worry about two piece wings, etc. I also have a smaller rack in the front of the trailer (on the wall). The trailer is a 6 x12, I carry the top wing of my 1/3rd scale Sopwith Triplane (103") on that rack also. It is very usefull for very large wings.

David, when I first saw the graphics on your trailer, it got me to thinking. I had a friend print up a pic of one of my models on vinyl. It came out pretty well.
If you look closely at some of my pics, you'll see that I hang wings from the ceiling in a similar fashion to yours.

RE: Securing large wings in a trailer
This is how i do some of my wings. I've made a rack out of 1 X 4's and am able to move them in or out to accomodate what ever size wings I'm transporting. They are all in wing bags so the weight is distibuted evening on the wings and they are protected. Bungie cords are used if there is any movement with them just sitting there. So far no problems other than when I have more than three smaller planes it gets a little difficult to pull just one set of wings out. Good Luck
