We owned a Hughes 269B and used a trailer manufactured by Kinzie Helicopters of Oklahoma to move it around. They don't seem to be around anymore so it might be hard to find one of their trailers. Anyway, it worked quite well. You didn't have to remove the blades but simply removed the bolt where the dampers attached to the blades (it's been a while so I can't remember the correct name). You then folded the blades a bit and used supports to hold them in place on the trailer. We hauled it back and forth a number of times across Canada with no problems.
