That's almost exactly what I was going to say. Wayne and Larry left this morning at 7AM and will be there on Thursday. I am leaving tomorrow and will be there on Friday. Tucson, look out! The NCFR's are coming...

**Boulder** · 09-25-2007, 09:34 AM

We're leaving early Sunday morning, be there by Sunday evening.

We just finished hooking up a new trailer to haul Nick's bird and also a Carden to be delivered to one of the Northwest guys.

Let's Git 'er Dun!!!

Hey Mike, I'll tell you like I told Dan... the Shootout will be boring and a waste of money this year. I would recommend you just skip it... Seth too. I'd hate you guys to waste a trip just to come to such a lack-luster event.

That's similar to how my trailer is set up. You may have seen it at Sherman. Good luck and happy traveling!

Sure is Dean!

Your trailer is one of the ones we looked at for ideas. One of the things Nick wanted to do is have the ability to move the shelf if necessary, that's the reason for the hinges. We can remove the supports and fold the shelf up, bolting it to the upper 2 x 4, leaving the entire trailer open.

Fixed Wing · 09-25-2007, 06:31 PM

I like the front shelf you added. I may add that to mine. The rear strap that holds my shelf unhooks so you can move it out of the way for loading and unloading planes. The other hangars are on a cotter pins so they can be released in case you want to open the whole area up. It's hinged opposite as yours so the shelf drops down rather than folding up.

**Boulder** · 09-25-2007, 06:38 PM

Actually there's 2 front shelves, just something we added to take advantage of the V-Nose.

The reason Nicks folds up is the width required for his plane, along with the ability to feed his bird into the shelf while clearing the back door, set the height requirement. That measurement, along with the width required, didn't allow enough height to allow the shelf to swing down. Trust me...I fought that one for a while
