The Std Cirrus has tiedown bolt holes that double up to retain the wing
in the trailer dolly.

When you pull the wing back, the dolly is secured to the wing, and rolls
back with it.

There is very little movement because of the positive location.

It's often convenient to add a second leading edge pad further towards
the rear of the trailer so you can move the wing back far enough to
access the cockpit without removing the fuselage.

Also consider draping a microfiber cloth over the pad to avoid wing
surface abrasion caused by dirt on the original pad surface - you can
wash the cloth now and then.

(2nd pad further towards the rear),
On the span where do the pads usually lie? 3/4 out from root?
Thanks,

Hi Scott

My Ventus maintenance manual specifies 2.5m in from the tip for a wing
bed although it doesn't specify a length for it. UH's suggestion sounds
real good to me for the size of it

Your Cirrus maintenance manual may well have some guidance in the
section on storage, transport and rigging.

Bruce- read the thread. He is putting a change in to eliminate those saddles.
