Beginner questions about buying a sailplane...
I'll reiterate what others have said about the value of a GOOD
trailer. Doesn't matter if the trailer is factory built or
homebuilt. What matters is how it works. How it works at holding the
precious cargo safely. How it works at making rigging and de-rigging
easy. How it works at protecting the glider from the elements. How
it works in towing stability and providing adequate space for "stuff"
like wheel chocks, wash bucket, towout gear, wing stand, tail dolly,
etc.
If the trailer is a knuckle-buster, the soaring experience will NOT BE
FUN.
