Default Trailer set up for 1/4 & 1/3 scale planes

I am planning on selling my 6x10 and getting a 7x16 trailer and wanted to know and see how any of you with the larger planes carried and strapped them down for transport. I do not want to use the method I am using now and want a more modern approach.
Thanks

I am in the process of setting my trailer up as a rolling hanger and I found this thread to be extremely useful. Forgive me if you have already looked through it. On some of the most recent posts there is some info about a tie down system that looks to be very useful for larger planes.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11..._1/key_/tm.htm

I know it is quite long, but there are photos of just about every configuration imaginable. If you havent already seen it, take a look through it, i'll bet you will find some ideas you like.


Also some info, or even better, photos of your current setup would be helpful in offerning suggestions. Tell us what you dont like about it.

Here is my current set up for hauling planes. The biggest problem I have is when ever a few of us goes someplace I haul everyone's in my trailer so it has to be able to carry almost ANY KIND of plane, both small ( 60 size) to ( 1/3 scale ) the orange netting is safety fence and I use Velcro to tie everything down.
