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.
Combing the configuration to work with the Jets and then the 40% and 35% Acrobatic planes and space goes fast.

Ian,
A good way to handle the issue of different size airplanes is to make the shelves adjustable. A lot of us are using Vertical E Track. It's the same track hardware as the more common horizontal E track but by mounting it vertically and using brackets that fit a 2 X 4 you can make adjustable shelves. You can even take the shelves out entirely if you need to move some furniture or something else large.
Sorry I don't have a shot of my trailer set up but I have been very pleased with the adjustable shelf option. BTW, I have been transporting with the gear extended with good success. It's easier to load the planes because you can roll them in (fuse mounted gear or with wings on) and you don't have to worry about damaging pylons, gear doors etc..
Here's a link to a site that sells vertical E track and related accessories.

There is good information (and Pictures) on E track here.
