About how much does a 1969 Eisenburg Gruber model APR 1812 trailer weigh?
Yes, it's a glider trailer. Looks kinda like a two-wheeled torpedo
with only one fin. I'm not clear if I can tow one even empty as the person who has it doesn't know either. I'm limited to 1500 lbs. Gliders are light, so I figure the trailer might be too. But at 28 ft long I doubt it is under 1500 lbs. -- FF Lots of aircraft stuff for sale: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...e=source&hl=en |

Yes, but keep in mind they are projects. The one I saw had made an off field landing by punching a hole in the roof of an apartment building. The student got out into the attic and took the stairs down, the istructor had to wait on the roof until someone came with a ladder. You can probably have THAT one real cheap. -- FF |

Now THAT'S a story I'd like to see in Soaring! Well I have been told the other three were also crashed and/or left out in the elements for too long. They may be suitable for recovering and display, not sure if they could be airworthy again. The will be very low cost. Am I right to suppsoe the worse issue is exposure, making it difficult to determine or trust the integrity of the frame? I'm going to stop out there tonight to see the inventory of wrecked, never finished, partly finished partly restored and ??? aircraft tonight. -- FF |
