There is no mention of a trailer in the AIG posting. How does one know when buying a wrecked glider if you also get a trailer?

On the gliders I've bid on, you can call the listed AIG representative and also call the contact person at the location of salvage. Usually very helpful, even one sent a bunch of pictures. FWIW, trailers and gliders are separate policy items, and I think seldom will be auctioned off together if damaged together, However, if the glider is damaged separately from the trailer, may not be included in the salvage. Best of luck, Scott |

I have had several cases where I paid more for the trailer than the glider. But- it didn't need several hundred hours of work. FWIW UH |

Accident report is that the club was trying to move two gliders to a different airport. One of which was this Grob. Hot day and for some reason the pilot got low and announced he would have to land the Grob off field. He clipped a tree on final and killed himself on impact. Off field landing is a dangerous game. Sobering. RIP friend.
