[Rhodes22-list] hauling to the ramp with the mast in the step

[Michael D. Weisner]

Measure twice ... you don't want to take out traffic lights or overhead wires.

In addition, the bouncing of the mast hanging out over the rear crutch might tear the tabernacle (step plate) right out of the cabin roof. The screws that secure the mast to the cabin roof are designed to pull out if overloaded.

I’d rather be sailing :~)

Has anyone hauled their R-22 to the launch ramp with the mast in the step.   i.e.  the mast on the rear guide but still fastened to the mast step.
I am a mile from the ramp.   I am curious if this would even be possible to do. Thanks.. Hank  Stein  Huron, Ohio
