6500 pounds fully loaded. I tow it with a small RV built on a 3500 Chevy Van.

I think I may have seen this and your Class B tow vehicle in Wadesboro NC a few weeks ago. Was that you at The Carolina Barnstormers wing-ding?

Joe, I'm converting a 26 ft V nose and would like to chat privately. [email protected]

My aviomania G2 is suppose to ship in the next few days. Can't wait to start building it.
What's the price tag on the trailer Joe? How big is the blade box, 30'?

The trailer unmodified was about 9K. (prices have risen since my purchase several years ago. I knew I was going to effect the stability when I cut the roof in half I had it built with some of the structural upgrades to sides, roof and floor. Then I had a local fabricator who is a friend add the roof tunnel. So I could not guess what it might actually cost. It is a 24 foot trailer and the blade tunnel is 30 feet. If you decide to build one, it has to be a flat front and don't bother upgrading the door closing springs like I did., since you have to take them out. Best of luck on your build.

I don't think we met there or did we?

Joe: Why a flat front vs. a V-Nose one?
Upgraded springs...Softer ones for such a light load as a gyro, or do you run w/ no springs (or only air bags) because the springs are removed?

Notice the front of his trailer is flat (standard trailer), not a V-nose. I think that's what he's saying.

I received a question about the blade covers. I highly recommend this guy. https://www.uitprod.com/products-se...ZYrcK3t7Jaz6KrVFvbKKl-SjsEGqY81z9EBovz5zT1D7Y

The complexity of sealing the square box coming out of the pointed front.

Sorry I was referring to the door closing springs.
