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...

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.

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.
