Re: Trailer Build

Thanks for bumping this up!
I'm going to attempt to unload this mess after our move/routing through it for the past year trying to find enough bits to keep a plane flying!

Marc, I'm stealing some of your ideas, nice set-up! I need a better wing racking system and yours looks great! For fuses, I used vinyl J channel screwed to the floor and my shelf, and use bungees/pipe insulation. I learned that this is not a good idea with foam wheels.

Someone asked about a roll out shelf.....that is what I have done with this 5x8 V-nose trailer. shelf brackets, 1x4's as the "rails" that are waxed up with minwax, and the shelf made from 3/8 birch plywood with a few 2x4's to stiffen it up. I have markings on the plywood to warn the end is near, and a pin to keep it secure while traveling. It can slide ahead (past the side door) or be pulled almost all the way out. I thought about table legs on the bottom of the ply so it could be pulled right out and used as a table, but that'd be a two person job.

Uh oh... Here it comes....

" I object that a portion of my MAAC fees goes to fund some obscure FAI activity that only a small percentage of the MAAC community even care about. Just think how much less our MAAC fees would be if we didn't fund these guys...."


LOL. Sound familiar?

P.S. the HK LED strip lights are a great idea, nice and bright and draw almost no power! wish I'd thought of that

In the spring I could assemble it and leave it in my driveway all summer, and in winter break it down and put it away. Anyone seen or heard of somebody doing this with a folding trailer?
My trailer sits in my driveway, in front of the garage where you see it pictured all winter.

…………. less shovelling and can use it to store another stuff during the winter.

Simple solution.....buy a bigger property.......My mini acreage on the edge of town is about 300 feet by 300 feet, lots and lots of room for trailers......just can't imagine moving to a postage stamp sized lot in a city, just not for me.

I have been thinking about a trailer for some time now.....this just motivates me to start looking harder at getting one.
