Ugly Trailer

Ok, time to change threads from 'Where are you from'
to 'Ugly trailer.

The trailer does not load over the tongue, but from
the back.

The idea of the trailer is quite sound, I believe.
The wing tips go in first. It has the heavy part
of the fuselage towards the front and the heavy part
of the wings towards the rear, rather than the roots,
thus the trailer is quite well balanced.

It tows extremely easily. I towed it behind my four
cylinder Honda for a few years until I was forced to
get a newer car. Now, I tow it behind a six cylinder
Honda and it tows even more easily.

To improve the design, I would have a professional
craftsman:

1. Build the trailer with brakes.
2. Put a cargo door up front.
3. Have the rigging tweaked.
4. Paint it!

I don't know the weight of the trailer, but it must
be light. Steel tube triangulated frame covered in
aluminum skin attached to a steel angle perimeter frame
and plywood floor.

It's not a Cobra or Komet, but it serves it's purpose
of storing my glider away from the elements and transporting
it whenever the needs arises.
