RE: Transporting in a pickup bed
i transport a 35% yak nose 1st in the back of my f350 truck, albeit with the wings in the cab. bungee cords on the landing gear with a retainer rope. i also secured 2 bungee cords to a child's swimming pool noodle to retain the tail. i loop the foam noodle around tail section and lightly stretch and hook the bungies to the sides of the truck. works fine. i also use pieces of 2" blue painters tape to secure the control surfaces during transportation.
i will switch to a trailer someday.
