Here are a few pics of a modified open trailer for pulling a Nano around. This was done by Art (Yellow Bensen Days Nano). I love what he did for the main landing gear, I have asked for details so I can duplicate in my trailer.
Those wheel straps are a good idea- I see car transporters using that method, so apparently a good solution.
I plan to go for a simple open T trailer as I had for my trike. Channel up the spine for the nosewheel, short channels for mains on the T head. Covers for the Nano cabin, mast and prop (and tail surfaces?). Probably also a short V screen at the front, with mounts for 2x 20l fuel containers and oil/tool box. Tubes up either side of centre for rotor blades.
I am deciding if I want to go with wood or metal for the channels. I can see me busting my toes on a metal channel. Wood I can rounds edges and remove angles easier. I am waiting to get my nano and get it inside my enclosed trailer before I start making things for fuel/tools etc.
Does anyone have a dimensioned plan view drawing of the Nano?
I want to start building a trailer ahead of delivery, so need width & length for landing gear, and overhang fore and aft. I will also ask FC, but maybe someone here has that data?

Attached is the flight manual and has dimensions in it. I went with a 7x14 enclosed trailer 8.5ft tall, I will let you know if it fits nicely in a week or so when I get my Nano.
Guess I have to figure out how to attach multiple pics

Thanks for the pictures, nice setup. Enclosed for me. Trailering/Hanger.
Once I have mine and put together I will give you some inside shots so you can decide if you want 8ft wide or longer etc.
👍🏻 Im looking forward to it.

I tried the Download, nothing. Says Forbidden.
Here is a snipit with dimensions.
Thanks- that is very useful, downloaded fine for me.
Just wrapped up my online Gyropedia course, it very educational for anyone interested before flight lessons.
