Remember, he is going to need to raise the tail wheel up another 10 inches to get clearance he needs.
He will need 13 inches under the tail boom if the wheel was completely removed. Does that clearance even exist?
Here is another method...
Tilt the Trailer.
Attach 2 flat ramps to the rear of the trailer bed.
The Rear Tip of the Ramps will need to be at or beyond the Tail Wheel.
Roll the Gyro forward with the Main Gear on the Two Ramps until the Nose Gear is just on the rear of the Deck of the trailer.
Level the Trailer Deck. This may be a problem needing a solution.
As the front of the ramps go UP, the Gyro will remain aligned with the Ramp.
Winch the gyro onto the trailer.
