Cobra Storage Drawer Question

[Brian Iten]

I would like to ask the owners of Cobra trailers with
the under trailer storage drawer on the pro's and con's.
Is it worth installing or more of a headache than anything?

Brian,

I have the drawer on my cobra and it's great; holds all the one man rigging
gear the tow out bar, tie down stuff plus more. No ground clearance issues.
I can't think of a negative (other than cost). I ordered mine like that from
the factory so I can't comment on how easy it is to install.

Brian,
Drawer works great on the Cobra. Tow out gear and wing stands fit easier here
than in the front.
Per Doug ground clearance has never been a problem.
Don't know of any con's. Ordered the trailer with the option. Has far the price
is concerned, you are buying a sailplane and the drawer should be an easy
rationalization.
Of course you will fill up all the room you have available.

If you take a corner too tightly so that the trailer goes over a curb, you will
destroy the storage drawer.

On a flat surface, if the front of the trailer is raised high enough to make
the back of the trailer come in contact with the ground, the storage drawer
just clears the ground.

Brian:
I agree with the other postings. The drawer is a good thing. I have
had it on mylast two trailers. Only had one small smack on the bottom
in an off field retrieve. Hit a rock. Easy fix.

I have had drawers on my last three Cobra trailers and installed the
last one myself as the trailer had been ordered without one by
mistake.

If you order one ask the factory for installation instructions, it is
a little difficult to figure it all out, when all you have is a bunch
of parts.
