William,
I have the answer to the question of the day. I have stuffed my plane into a uhaul and it is now at Buzzair Flight Academy in TN. They are all great folks, and have helped me enormously. My 750 is undergoing flight testing now, but I had to return home. They are flying off as many hours as possible between training sessions. I had to travel further than you will, and I towed a car. I'll see if I can send you a picture of the truck.

I believe you can. I think I have seen a video with Roger Dubbert showing this feature. Check the Zenith site.
