The jack wheel will not come down do long as you crank it fully up -
visually check that it is not askew with the diagonal cut in the jack
casing. That said, if you plan to leave the gliderport for a retrieve
or long trip, you should keep a plastic bag in the car or trailer.
Removing the jack is simple, but it leaves grease on anything it
touches.

Due to a senior moment, my cobra trailer became unhooked as I was
pulling it out of my back yard. The emergency trailer brake
activated
and broke the safety chain I had installed as well as the trailer
wiring, fortunately all this happened at a very slow speed before I
got
on the road and it was no big deal to repair.

I had not realized that if you are going to use a safety chain it
should be shorter than the cable which activates the emergency
trailer
brake. Probably everyone knows this but I thought I would pass
this
along.

The other bit of knowledge I wish I would have known before my
first
towing trip is to remove or somehow secure the front wheel as it
can
loosen and drop down to the road surface.
