Just How Big is that Tin Truck?

Today at lunch I ran over to Budget with my 8' tape measure and measured a 24' rental truck (the same size truck is available in Helena, Montana).  The good news is that the Bearhawk should fit in the truck.  The bad news is that we still have to figure out how to get it up the ramp, which is too narrow for the airplane's main gear.

Project time ~ 0.8 hours.

  1. Ask the Budget guys if you can rent an extra ramp. Or, 2x4s and some plywood and make your own ramp once you get to Helena.

  2. The ramp is apparently built into the undercarriage of the truck, and slides out/locks. But making our own ramp from local lumber is definitely a viable solution.
