You cant do that, It has to be all designed in CAD or at least Sketch-up first before you can even think about building this sort of thing MASSPILOT. HAHAHA just joking! I know you use Hand CAD. You cant fool me! Its looking good by the way. Now just hurry up already and lets go on a trip. Oh and hurry up and get me my hot water heater, I'm freezing!

Already did it's well under the 26000 lbs the box actually only weighs 1640lbs when they lifted just the box the crane had a scale on it. The box is actually lighter then the original bed. Airdrop version weighs just a little over 16000lbs without fuel.or crew from original. I made sure I looked up all the specs. So I have plenty of room to play with.
