Flying Freddie
Excellant question! My thoughts are that the lower the profile, the less wind resistance when trailering, especially when you factor in the "V-nose design. Now, having said that, your analysis of cost vs fuel blows that all to hell. The height factor of 6'-11" is great for garage storage or access. Your are absolutely right with the RV Storage concept. I have wanted to build one of those in my area for 3 years now. Vacant land for that purpose is hard to come by. There are bunch of them on the west coast of Fla. I think if i sat down and did a little financial planning on this, it would be alot cheaper in the long run to hire Horseless Carriage, or Intercity and just have them pick it up and deliver to where I want. Then I could just use the Lear to fly in and avoid all the traffic hassles. Only problem, I won't be able to visit places along the way and freeload off all my CC buddies. Fuel for the Lear? You think pulling a trailer sucks fuel?

I read today that there is a "Fine Line" between a "Hobby" and an "Obession." They call it "Sanity." I may have crossed over the line. They are coming to take me away, they are coming to take me away. Please keep the get well cards and letters coming, I need all the help I can get. I'll try to write back as soon as I get out of the silly white jacket these 2 guys are holding. Bye for now.
