One way to do it!
This is a common technique, as you can see here and here.
Landing is usually done on grass, better in the early morning when there is dew. Then you lift it up with a crane and onto a dolly.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

The traditional way is with the airplane on a dolly with castering tail wheels. There is a spring loaded brake that is held in the off position by the weight of the aircraft. The dolly is usually neglected since it's used once a year so the brakes are iffy and wheels don't want to swivel freely leading to some interesting moments when the airplane is no longer guiding the dolly.
ReplyDeleteI've watched a Beaver landing on wet grass that tipped to about 80degrees from the horizontal. I was sure it was going to dig in and go over. The next week we sprayed the grass with the firetruck for the 185 to land.

The Me163 dolly didn't disengage until it was airborne...must have been a high maintenance item!
ReplyDeletedeadstick,
ReplyDeleteyou for sure didn't want the me163 dolly to let go too soon. The resulting pyrotechnics made for bad pilot pool retention, which was already pretty bad. Looks like a neat ride, except for that nasty fuel situation.
