TRANSPORTING LARGE PLANES
I came up with this recently. all you need is a descent bit of foam, and your away, will work with most planes.

He's from NZ. I don't know about the 100mph bit as nothing go fast over there, but the idea certainly looks like somehing only a Kiwi would come up with

RE: TRANSPORTING LARGE PLANES
I use my Ford Excursion. I put the 140cc Edge 540 in the back with the seats down. Could probably fit up to a 200cc plane. Otherwise I could an enclosed trailer would work well. Make like a portable shop for the planes with chargers and batteries.
Thats when I win the lottery.

RE: TRANSPORTING LARGE PLANES
It can be as expensive or as cheap as you like. You can pick up a small trailer and build a box that fits on it for under $1000 CAD if you buy used. My dad farmed for 30 years and we were able to build a 7X14 trailer and all we needed to buy was the wiring harness for the lights and the fenders. The rest we made ourselves from material he had around the yard.. I am building a box to go on it that will store all my planes. I have 2 50CC planes and 6 smaller ones. It will be 2 levels high. The biguns go on the bottom and the little ones on the top layer. I'm running a seperate 12V hookup for inside it so the planes can be charged while in the trailer. The best part is that the box will slide off the trailer and i can use it to haul my quad or sled.... and then i have a place to store my planes as well...
