Steve:

Thanks...I already knew that! (The nuts part [sm=bananahead.gif].) But seriously, the only reason I've thought about putting it up on the luggage rack is because like Erick I can't go over 45mph while going to the field and it's not that far away. As you pointed out, if I would have to carry it like that on the thruway or any open road that goes over 55mph (we're very speed limited in N.Y. not that anyone ever follows it) I would never consider doing it. Only on a short, slow run, under 5 miles.


And I agree with you 100%, on a Thruway going fast for any amount of distance I could just image all the crap that would not only get into the fuselage and just the little dents in the covering from flying debris would be a major headache. Not to mention the turbulance as you pointed out. Well, I guess I'm not that nuts after all! (Shhh! Yes, I am!)
