Blackcat - my F16 is way too long to be transported in a standard way in a Norwegian truck - we have these silly rules that make us have
a metal mesh behind the seats if you want a work car without back seats - this saves a lot of money (my Chevrolet Tahoe costs approx
US$100.000 instead of almost $200.000!!) - however, I had a jet friend make an opening where I can put the nose of the F-16 through -
it sticks out almost 25 inches between the front seats, and even then, the fin is 5 mm away from the rear window! The turbine intake lip
rests on a styrofoam tube between the seats, and the main wheels are placed in a soft foam "cradle" with openings that exactly matches
the wheels. I can run over gravel and pretty lousy roads (of which we have a LOT in Norway) - still, I have never seen the elevators shake!
You must be travelling over some pretty tough Australian outback roads to see the elevators shake!!

Also, the 25 kg servos and the solid links make it virtually impossible for the elevators to shake during transport - but apart from that, it would be
interesting to see how you could make them removable! [8D]

PS - my elevators are not balanced, and after 45 flights, all is still good and the links as solid as ever..
