Bumper Miracle Slide

Anyone have one of Bumper's kits for the Cobra ramp they would be willing to part with? I tried to buy one from Wings and Wheels today and they said they are taking over the manufacturing and will be out of production for about two months.

I bought a kit recently from Cumulus Soaring.

I've put the sliders on two cobra trailers. If you own a Cobra trailer, buy one of these kits. Amazing difference. German Engineering can accomplish a lot and Cobra trailers are true wonders but after adding this kit you'll just want to stand in the driveway all night and slide the ramp back and forth.

But, you'll no longer be able to freak out all the neighborhood cats
with that special screeching from the ramp rails ;-(

I've done two trailers, and believe one was the first outside of Bumper's immediate supervision. An excellent mod! As Tony implies, buy it NOW from whoever has stock.

What a great idea. Kinda tripping mentally over $15 for shipping though.....

It is so worth having, sometimes I just drive to airport, open trailer and slide/glide rail out to have someone run smooth in my life. Close trailer and head back to reality. It is like meditation.

Nothing beats the bump-bump-bump-bump-bump sound of a mid 80s Komet trailer ramp being pulled out. That takes me back to student pilot days at HHSC every time I hear it (if I wasn't flying, I was helping someone rig or de-rig). The metal/metal screech of the Cobra I just bought won't do. Can't wait to fix it.

Yes, I have an unused kit. Contact me at julietsix at gmail dot com.

I hate to rain on the parade, but a squirt of Tri Flow Superior (bicycle chain lube also specified for certain rotor heads) does a pretty good job.
