Mine are fine. I just don’t drive like an idiot over rough roads, RR#, etc. I actually don’t attach any of my jets to the floor. I’ve seen too many jets and planes damage simply by over strapping. If the jet or planes are on wheels, then I have tie downs where the wheels sit, and a small small bungee wrapped around the strut or wheels. Did this for my F-16, F-18, and all of the Extras’.
As you see those two of my current jets, I just let them ride in old dog foam beds. I’ve never had a issue. Even having a rear truck flat tire at 75mph and loosing control out through the median. Had it under control, until hitting a rough bridge. I didn’t jack knife or roll it. First thing I looked at was both jets and I had a CARF 44% Giles. Nothing damage inside or outside of the trailer. Totaled the truck, due to hitting all four corner panels. Most of the time that you see this happen to someone, they normally over steer and roll it is what the highway patrolman told me.

I also hang my wings.
