'Sorry, I didn't read your first comment about the outriggers.  I'll look into that, but to be honest, I'll need to rent both a truck and trailer so I may be stuck having someone else do it for me anyway.'

'The total distance is 45 miles, in the Phoenix area. I'm wary about towing it from the tail-wheel, because of going that far will take forever at slow speeds and although I haven't measured the gear yet, I think it exceeds 8' 6", which is the towing limit in AZ. Hopefully I can get this done a...

'I finally received my new hangar after being on the waiting list for 18 years and I now need to transport my F24 project across town.  The fuselage is still on the gear with the tail feathers attached.  Does anyone know what it will take to transport the plane?  Will I have to take the gear and hor...

'Hi Jay, Good to see that one of 81284's "sister ships" is still on the rolls. The plane is based in Goodyear, AZ, just outside of Phoenix. Come visit anytime. Wallace --- In fairchildclub@yahoogroups.com, "fairchild24pilot" wrote: > > Wallace, I own NC81285. Where are you locate...

'Thanks Jamie, No, I haven't found an S1-S. Almost all of the ones that I have seen have 30+ year old fabric. I just don't trust what might be hiding underneath. Also, I've already got one plane in pieces, I can't start another project. I just want to be back in the air! If you or anyone else sees o...
