The trailer is more important than the plane.
A Cobra is the BEST.
No bashed knuckles.
No cuts on your scalp.
No fiddling with trolleys that won't stay in their tracks.
Parts are available with one phone call.

That first line is just plain silly.

My Mosquito was a bitch to rig, but its Pfeiffer trailer was well
appointed and worked just fine.Â* The home built tube trailer that housed
my ASW-19 was pure basic, but I rigged and flew that '19 every weekend.Â*
Sure a Cobra is a nice trailer, but you only spend about an hour with it
each soaring day.Â* I'd much rather give away a few points on a trailer
and get the best ship I could afford.
