Pardon the extended away, which is ENTIRELY TED'S FAULT (hehe). I watched one too many videos of him wailing away on a Wicked 55, and I caught that fever. Wound up crippling the pioneer couplers, which left with me a nasty high pressure leak and seriously bent WRLong torque tube mount. Two months later, I've got a new front mount, and replaced those "just a thimble" pioneer couplers with a pair of Parker flat face couplers. $350 lesson learned. There is a little routine necessary to release pressure on those, but I've got it down now.
Anyways … yes. That's what I do too. Right now I lay it down spread-eagled and it's quite stable when I detach it outside. The issue now is wanting to move all my QA implements to a row of covered pallets, which would not present enough space to spread that maw out. Was thinking of some kind of catch to rest the upper tube on. Will post if I ever get that done.
