I think the club is even considering making fixtures to allow us to use the 2-33 trailer. |

Looking for used if possible. Ditto. LVVSA is also in need of a G103 trailer. Open or clamshell? Bob K. Closed trailer is going to be the one I am looking for. This winter I designed a clamshell trailer for a friend's ASK21, and got all ready to order steel and start construction. However, he found a good deal on a Komet G103 trailer and we've been adapting that instead. Building a glider trailer chassis is a relatively easy process. Building a light yet effective clamshell top is a bit more troublesome. But kitting the trailer out with fittings and dollies that fit the glider well, are light yet robust and easy to use, that's the hard part. You can spend weeks of spare time getting all that stuff functional. In particular, the fuselage dolly for a non-retract 2-seater can be a real bear to make work well. Because the wheel is fixed, the dolly has to be fairly tall to keep the wheel off the deck. Because the glider is so heavy, the dolly really needs a built-in jack to lift the fuselage to clearance height. Stuff like that is why a good Cobra trailer, factory fitted for your glider, rightfully commands five figures USD. Thanks, Bob K. http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24 |
