Gang,

It does not appear that the trailer has any suspension,
so I think I'd run the tires slightly soft, maybe 25-30 psi.

Hard to imagine a trailer without any kind of suspension. Seems to me it
would bounce like crazy over any kind of rough road, not to mention
beating the glider to pieces.

Agreed. An axle using torsion arms for sprung suspension may "look"
like it has no springs, i.e. no leaf springs or coil springs, when in
fact it does.

NACK.

Our club owns self-built (in late 60s and early 70s) trailers for our
K-6, K-8, and K-13 without any suspension except the air in the tires.
None of them is bouncing "like crazy over any kind of rough road", and
none of our planes was "beat to pieces" as well.

However, it's strongly recommendend to drive rough roads more slowly
than with a Suspension.
