Wally,

I've seen your 'white whale' trailer and I must say,
it is quite unique.

I've also seen a completely cylindrical trailer with
an LS3 inside. It is amazing they could fit the odd
shaped disassembled glider in a tube, but they did.

I've also seen a trailer that was skinned with vinyl
siding you might find on a mobile home or a house.

I've seen a trailer that began life as an open trailer
for an HP-11 and then was enclosed with roofing/siding
metal. The HP's Vee tail did not fold, and provisions
were made in the trailer for their existance. From
the rear, the trailer looked somewhat like the head
of Mickey Mouse.

I really don't care how the trailer looks. It's all
how it protects the glider from the elements, from
a crash on the road, how easily it tows, and how easy
it make to rig and de-rig.

But of course, if it looks good, there is nothing wrong
with that!

Well, let's make it 'wierd' as well as ugly and I'm
in.

Ray, I know you have seen my trailer. It's all fiberglass,
looks like it
was made to haul marine mammals, or maybe someone left
a PIK factory
trailer in the oven too long. It does load over the
tongue, and the wing
tips go in first. At least my glider is a Libelle,
so the wings are not
too heavy. The trailer itself is heavy, but has good
brakes and is very
weatherproof. The worst 'feature' is that the only
wheels that I could
find to fit it were from late '60's VW vans. I see
an axle change in my
future.
