double wide trailer

It shouldn't be too difficult if they are loaded with one fuselage
facing forward and one backward. I've had trailers that loaded over the
tongue so and it wasn't a problem. You might even be able to set it up
so that one loads from one end and one from the other. That way they
can be used independently.

How do the semi-span and fuselage length compare? IOW, would the trailer
need to be be much longer than the semi-span if you packed the fuselages
top the tail so the center section of one was in front of or over the
nose of the other? I think you might have to arrange them that way:
sounds like you'd never get them in or out if the center sections
overlapped the rear fuselages in a more conventional top & tail
arrangement.

Of thinking totally off the wall: would the trailer be impossibly high if
the fuselages were stacked vertically, possibly with the top one on some
sort of hoist? With that sort of arrangement you might even get a
sleeping area in front of the fuselages. Two Libelle fuselages side by
side with the wings outside them would leave lots of room in front of
their fuselages between the wings for something like that.

Its an interesting problem to play with, anyway.
