Text version

1. What grade of steel do you prefer on this unit? Mild Steel or Stainless? We would like stainless steel.

2. What type of tow connection is required? Pintle Hook.

3. Is the trailer required to be UK Road Traffic compliant? Yes

4. Is shipping to a US consolidation point authorized? If so, which one is preferred? No, we would prefer the item be transport directly to RAF Feltwell.

5. As the length of the F‐35 Lightning II is 51' and placing that on a trailer with the Propane bottles would not be road compliant, will an appropriate scale resizing be allowed? It was my understanding that the trainer would not be a 1 to 1 scale due to that very thing. If propane tanks make the item not road compliant then I believe we will need the ability to remove the tanks for transport.

6. Are there any special LPG bottles required? Its our understanding that the contractor will provide the appropriate LPG bottles that will work with the trainer.
