Hi Tom, I recently moved a coupe by trainer. With the wings removed ( 4 bolts each side plus control linkage) I was able to set it on a trailer with a sheet of 3/4" plywood sideways. I supported under the plywood with 3 - 2X6's. The width is just under 8 feet so it was no problem. The main and nose gear were secured by ropes and come-alongs. We placed the wings under the fuselage on truck inner tubes and roped down. I used this product called 'pallet wrap'. It is that stretchable thin plastic. I wrapped loose items around and around with this plastic to ensure they stayed with us, as well as protecting them from the rain. I used this also to cover the canopy to protect the interior as all windshields were out of my plane. Got a lot of looks on the highway. Hope this helps and good luck. If you do get this unit, and you are interested in selling off a few parts, let me know.
