    I am a former driver and 62 yo , I learned many years ago by an old driver about 70 yo back in the 80's not to use oil on my tandems that was asking for future issues . The old timer told me get a dish soap bottle with half water and use that . I thought he was nutty being a young driver but later tried and he was right . I remember him saying something at the time I thought was bat shit crazy . Rust welds is when your tandems get wet from road spray and that rusty powder would form between the tandem frame and the slider . Oil swelled it up and locking it in place Like old grease will do . The thing he said was soap and water works by the soap would make the water "Lite" meaning it 's water particles were broken up and made it smaller where it will go in between the frame and tandem and allow it to move . That rust powder would become slick with that soap and water . Continued oils only makes it worse like dried up tar like grease and you know how hard that is for just move easy .

    That windshield needs protection as well. Bubble wrap or something thick and soft that will NOT SCRATCH the windshields'. Awesome job Tim.

    If you are going to get into hauling helicopters get a lower trailer so you don't have to worry about rotor/tail height and invest in two blade boxes to carry the blades properly. And invest in window covers proper ones to cover those expensive windows don't cover them with anything but the proper covers as anything else can flap in the wind and ruin the windshield. There is nothing too moving them if you have the right gear I have moved them for years for local helicopter company.

    I had a feeling that helicopter was going to Cleetus or Dave Sparks. I had forgotten that he had already hauled a load for Mike Patey. I watch Mikes videos religiously when he releases them. Still waiting on more aviation content but I know he’s trying to build his house and has some classified projects he’s working on for the military so I’m sure it will be a bit before it happens. I would really only want to haul helicopters on a trailer with a rollback cover for the added protection of the expensive windshield and such.
