Well , after my short lived joy of having a new toll way to get me from home to the flying field I have been informed that the 2.5 billion is set to be debited from my account . I'm sure the bloke who runs East link is a DA flyer . Any way as it turns out if I drive a private vehical and not commercial van the cost is MUCH lower . So here goes nothing , how do you get a 3.0 Yak into the old bomb shopping trolly Commodore . In the end all you do is take the stabbs off , line up the rudder with dead centre and come in from a long run up . Bingo , like a bum in a bucket . I just hope I have room for all the other bits . Like wings , stabs , tool box ,fuel , wing tube and also the driver . Here's the pix .

Don't do the bank account debit. Do the credit card thing. Should nearly get 3 or 4 new 3mt models with the points a spend like that would generate. | ||||||||||||||||||

Hey Stu it might be expensive but it will only take one incident of car hanger damage to outway the cost you could have spent..........food for thought......Recommend a trailer if not your van

Laziness at its best. Be ok for a big Yak to hide ring gear. I think TD posted something similar for 3W a while back Last edited by Jamieman; 07-07-2008 at 06:08 AM. |

Given the option a van is always going to be the better choice . I hear the car/trailer is also going to be treated the same as a commercial vehical. I know what you mean about the hanger rash I suppose its the risk I have to take . Looks like it will only be a few trips down there anyway , this lovely new road is too close to the field . I am betting the cops wouldnt appreciate a nice big roller being flown over six lanes of traffic . Stu
