Default trailer

Brian, I make racks for each of my warbirds out of 1 inch PVC and foam padding. Each rack is specifically built for a particular warbird. This way they fit snug and dont move around. I make a one piece cradel that holds the fuse and has a small side mount to hold the wing. Rubber bands are used on each fuse and wing to hold them down into the rack. I have a 16ft bumper trailer with a shelf spanning across the middle. I usually put 2 warbirds in thier respective racks on the top shelf and 2 on the bottom. I use tie straps to hold the racks to the trailer floor.
This has worked well for me as it allows me flexibility on which warbirds go where in the trailer and it still allows me to have a trailer for other uses.
