Snow Mobile Dollies
A buddy of mine bought a cheap set of snow mobile dollies for the same purpose. That's the only use for them here in Alabama  . Worked great.

That's nice. I don't have the landing gear installed yet so here's what I did:
2x4 with a slot cut out for the 5/8" axle to fit in and 2 hand truck wheels.
2x4s bolted vertically to the plywood that came installed in the spar slots on a QB fuse.
Vertical 2x4 tail stand bolted to the end of the fuse.

Dave,
This looks an awful lot like an early version that I had before I mounted the engine. Those Harbor Freight wheels are rated for only 300 pounds each however so I "doubled up" per side for the heavier RV-10. A short 5/8" thereaded rod connects the two wheels on each side.
I've drilled and mounted my main landing gear but if I leave them on, I would not be able to exit my work area. Until I move out of my current work area, I will leave them on my 2X4 main landing gear.

I like the power-plug idea on the right main.
