At permalink #24 the track is given as 24.4 inches.
Can they accommodate a tricycle?

The hold-downs are a steel trough with 45-degree bent-up tabs which cradle the tire.These tabs are slotted to allow 3" ratchet-straps to be attached,which surround the front tires and hold them to the trough under tension.

For a tricycle,I believe that the single wheel would have to be attached to a spar which would span far enough to reach the nearest troughs.My model will have to be done this way,fore and aft.
They may have to do a run just to measure the drag of the spars.
