Hi Greg, I sympathise. If you are interested we had the same problem so I designed a trolley for the front which works really well I can send a picture to,you. Basically you do roll the aeroplane on to it then actually lift it about 2 inches up by couple of over centre pivots and 4 big wheelbarrow type wheels. We have to pull it over shingle and grass hence the big wheels. The rear one I am still working on but almost there. It us a u shaped frame with 4 wheels in each corner. I have a v shaped angle iron thing which u push under the tail wheel which is hinged with a lever and pinned when lifted. Not a good explanation so a picture would be better. The only problem is the rear trolley wants to dive off in a different direction which I could fix either with castoring wheels or a bracket strapped to the rear fuse to keep,it straight. The requirement for us is for one person to be able to pull it out and back in so I am also looking at motorising the wheels of the front trolley which would be pure heaven .
