I just checked two trailer vent fans and both were dead. With a little checking I found one had a dead battery and the other had a bad motor. They are both made by NICR and are day/night fans which employ a battery that charges all day, so it can run all night. Why did the battery go dead? I...

I live in central Europe - where the weather is neither too hot nor too cold. Seems to me that in the not too distant past many people fitted little solar powered extractor fans to their trailers to improve ventilation. Looking round our club trailer park the other day I noted that only one out...

If one is good, how much better is two?

I have a nice PIK that needs a better home. I'm looking for a factory PIK trailer, a Blanik TV-1 trailer, a nice Gaines or a good Minden Fab. Got something else that's not junk? Let's talk... Jack Womack Conroe, TX

I have a buyer for my ASW-20 re-build project, but he needs a trailer to act as a shipping container, if nothing else (read; it doesn't have to be in great shape) Hopefully in Western US, I'm in Placerville, CA. Thanks, JJ Sinclair

Do any of you guys know of a trailer available for a Grob 103? Looking for used if possible.

I weighed my trailer yesterday (Sunday) at a local truck stop, using their truck scales. 2,040 lbs total. Tongue weight is 180 lbs. Trailer: 2006 year model Swan Glider: 1970 LS1-d Extra stuff in trailer: steel wing stand, aluminum tow out gear, tail dolly, one folding aluminum chair,...

I have an older Komet trailer with newer axel. I parked the trailer about 2 months ago and it was working fine at the time. Now the wheels are immobile. I even tried to pull it with my car and the wheels just dragged across the pavement. In the dark of night I could not figure out if somehow...

More trailer-talk.... I have a Minden-Fab / Scheder-style trailer and tow with a 200hp V6 station wagon. The front "barndoor" of the trailer is about 1.5 to 2 feet higher than the roofline of the car. The whole setup feels draggy on the road. 65 mph is about the limit before I feel like I am...

Hi, Am posting this for a friend of mine. If interested, you can contact me, and I'll connect you. - What: A pair of wing root dollies copied from a 1981 Komet Trailer for an LS4. - Why: Built for a trailer project that never got completed. - How much: Best offer.

I have an 1989 Cobra Trailer aluminum (currently in Elmira, NY at M&H Soaring) $6000 OR A 1985 Komet Trailer fiberglass top (in Nashville, TN) $6500 They are both rigged most recently for ASW-20 but should fit any STD / 15M ship with minimal mods necessary. Both are good running trailers. The...

Charlie-Lite will be leaving Pennsylvania in another week. He is looking for any trailering that needs to be done going east to west. Any interested glider owners can call on his cell phone at 520-307-4393. Thanks

A permanent Registration Certificate is required to fly a US registered aircraft in Canada. Anyone know if a glider can be trailered through Canada with only a temporary Registration Certificate?

A friend from Tucson showed up at Fidel's shop for some work on his Discus2b and it was discovered that the black plastic tool that fits into the end of the wing tip for both rigging as well as trailering had broken in two. I examined the ones I have for my Discus and discovered evidence of...

I see there are draw bar adapters/extensions that enable mounting a bicycle rack plus your standard hitch ball for coupling the trailer, e.g: https://www.amazon.com/Bicycle-Receiver-Adapter-Extender-Extension/dp/B000P6CJ9O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1493239546&sr=8-5&keywords=bike+rack+extender#Ask...

What is the conventional wisdom on fiberglass top trailers? I've never had any experience with one. Should I keep it this way and stay away from it by all means? Or is it OK, really, and not much worse than Al top? How long do they last and how much maintenance require? What are the pros and cons...

Dang! Got drawn in again! I’m ashamed to admit I have been following Sean Fidler’s “why didn’t I get chosen� rants on Facebook. It is hard to look away from a train wreck I guess. I am embarrassed for him. I've never seen someone take a decision so badly. So much misinformation and so...

Hi all in US-glider land! I am just curious: what happened to the rebirth of the Polish Kr-03 trainer, which was supposed to be built by a company in Florida? With the Euro growing stronger and stronger against the US$ and the aging fleet of 2-33, I thought there would be a good market for this US...

Hi, I go about 6'4" 250lbs when I'm in shape, which I'm currently not. I know there are other threads on this topic, but none seem recent, (i.e., withing several years), so I'm wondering if there are any new recommendations out there for models that would suit someone like me. I can drop some...
