Thanks for the inputs.=20

Frank - If I picture what you are describing, the glider is rolled onto a

We used these for many years for hangar packing too. The whole thjng
was steel and the handles were around 12 feet. The main wheel sat in a
ring. There were many trailing edge dings to the wings over the years from

the handles so we switched to main wheel dollies.
