I trailer mine using 2 2X4's on edge nailed to a 2X6, making a wooden C channel. Nail 2 short boards on each end to cap and support the 2X4's. Make just long enough for the main gear to set inside. I strap the plane down using the main spar wing attach fittings. I attach the wooden frame to the trailer with deck screws to keep it from moving. Make sure plane is tied to trailer and the prop & controls are secured.

If you have an older steel landing gear you have a width of 8' 8 "which is too wide for most trailers. I did not have any luck with trailers or tow trucks so I towed it 25 miles at 20mph with a tow bar. Not a recommend method. After getting to the barn and looking at the gear I think I could have reversed the spindles and have been less than 8' wide ( I am sure some of our knowledgeable folks will know if this is possible). I will try that on the return trip.
