Wing wheel from Craggy Aero by 2G
I wanted to replace the Cobra wing wheel I had been using because 1) it goes with the ASH26e I have for sale and 2) the tire scrubs the tarmac as I go around turns, putting stress on the wing. I ordered the CA WingWheel from Craggy Aero because the wheel swivels with the direction of...

Cobra Trailer by
My PW5 came with a very nice Cobra trailer that originally was for a Discus. It's all metal (no Fiberglas). Needless to say it's way to big for the PW5-5 although it has been converted very nicely. I'm sure it would be very easy to convert it back for a 15 meter ship. If anyone would like to...
