Hi everyone! I've been way out of the Sonerai loop for quite some time. Last post was me considering selling my 1982 S2L. Well...I have decided to keep it and recently had a small 30'x35' hangar built to house it and continue to (improve it) right in my back yard. The previous owner recovered the fuse and covered-over the support rod holes on each side to secure the wings for transport...aka.."trailering it to the airport". Can anyone direct me to some closeup pics, diagrams, or anything useful that could tell/show me how to 'correctly' cut the fabric and permanantly secure it around the ID of the holes (interior tube) for the rod? I need to move it from current airfield to my house, which is only about 12 highway miles distance. I can remove the wings for the trip but would prefer to do that when I get it home. Planning to build wall mounted wing racks too keep 'em safe from mishap, but am eager to get my bird to her new home ASAP. I can tie her down at the wings as usual till I can get the wall racks fabb'd and installed. My concrete guy put in some really nice recessed tie-down points in the floor when he poured the slab. I only have a 10 irons in the fire right now (nothing new!) and speed is of the essence to relocate her...dont want to have to pay another months rent at current location. Also...what size and material type of 'rod' is called for that will not marr or fail during the trip?
Thx in advance to all who respond. ;-)
