Rent a UHaul? :) I'm already pushing the limits of the MagicWagon. 6x
modules stacked, one on side.  Plus some half modules.  I have no idea how
the American LTCs do it-their airports are larger than my section

(...) 2x2, I think. I think Chris helped me chop them down to 24 inches each (eight feet). I drilled in three holes in each, making the spacing about 21-22 inches between each module. I bolted them in an offset fashion (one on each side on the (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
