Here are the sort of square pool noodles. Lol. Those noodles are tough stuff. It may not look good, but I think it will work good. The uprights will lay to the outside to allow the plane to taxi forward. They will rest to the inside for easy transport. An airplane needs more than 2.25" stabilizer height to clear the uprights when folded over. You can do both uprights or just one. Doing just one , you lift the tail to work it around the other upright. It should work good. If more stability is needed I can add 2 folding arms that can extend forward for more stability of the tail trap. Just have to see how it works. I end this here. I can't finish welding the anchor points now. I have a tractor that needs TLC maintenance.
