Default RE: Transporting Jets in a Trailer

ORIGINAL: Flyjets

Well

I have been looking at this for a few years now and experimenting with the over center locks on the Gear of the Yellow F18 and CJM Gear on my F15e. I can't get them to collapse regardless of air pressure in the system or not.

That and the damage to the Gear door from laying the Yellow F18 Gear up is what prompted this.

Why this matters is I am trying to determine the height of the shelves in the Trailer.

That's what I thought too, but don't underestimate the shaking they get in the trailer and how that can move things around. Plus if you transport them with the gear up you have the benefit of using less space. As others have said, you need a full length shelf and you can cut the foam into peices so that its only under the parts that can take the stress if necessary...
