Tom's Blank's tie-down is located about 4,000 feet from the end of Nampa's
runway 29. I believe the original post is asking a source for a wing-wheel
and tail dolly. Or maybe there are other options that would allow towing an
assembled Blanik behind his jeep.

We used to have two Blaniks. We made a trailer for the complete glider,
with a tilting mechanism and a hand winch to load the glider, and with
two lifting arms to support the wings.

It worked fine on a hard surface, and was even usable on grass (rigid
axle, no suspension). You just had to drive slowly! We had one glider
airborne when the towcar went a bit too fast...

When we sold the Blaniks, we sold the trailer to another club, where it
still performs well with older glider types.

See the fotoalbum of http://www.dewouw.net/zweefvliegsectie/ , look
under "op de piste". The picture is named "Ka 6 nat". (sorry, I
couldn't get the direct link to work)
