Paul:  I'm back home.  Bought a trailer and had the plane
loaded by Wed. evening.  Made a round-trip by car to
Phoenix on Thursday.  Departed Palm Springs 7 a.m.
Friday and arrived at MMV Saturday at 4 p.m.

I transported the Long backwards on a 16 foot flatbed
trailer with the nose gear down and plane level.  How can
you do this?  Turns out the spar is 9.5 feet wide, not 10 feet
like I thought.  The legal width is 8.5 feet, not 8 feet like
I thought.  I parked the ez diagonal on the trailer and got
the overage down to just 2-3 inches per side.  Drove 1100
miles with no trouble either driving it or with the law.

Special thanks to Paul Lamar.  If you guys ever break down
in your rotary powered airplane be sure it happens within
100 miles of LA.  There's probably not another guy on the
planet willing to donate so much of his time to help.

Glad to see you made it home no problem.

Thanks Perry for the complement. 

OK guys to be sure you don't break down
the way Perry did take your tension bolts out one at a time replace them 
one at a time with new bolts coated with red RTV.
You will need to remove the psru and the flex plate of course.
