I've heard they employ a rather revolutionary ballast
system for those occasional booming days which utilizes fuel - guess it's lighter than water! Just need to start loading the wings around 3am to be ready for a launch at midday! What's Vwinch - any ideas? Dave UK

I guess you could hold a lot of aileron into the turn to keep the
outboard wing climbing. As for trailering, we trailer fuselages from Kansas to Washington pretty regularly... I work for BNSF Railway... A Toureg won't hold a candle to a 7,000 hp GE locomotive... 8^)... Jack Womack
