Jim,

I've talked with Garrett and seen pictures of their party wagon. *Not
sure I'm ready for that kind of upgrade. *I've got an old beater 1994
GMC 2 wheel drive V6 pickup with 256,000 miles on it that I would like
to keep for now for a tow vehicle. *Not ready to upgrade a super heavy
duty diesel gas guzzler.

Martin -

I'm having trouble visualizing what you typed. *Perhaps its just too
early. *The fuselage is ~20-22 ft long. *Each wing is about 18 or 19
ft long.

I've got a friend with a Duster and because of its massive fixed
center section the solution for his trailer was to lay the wings flat
on the floor. *I'm wondering if maybe a good solution for the double
Cherokee trailer would be two racks for the 4 wings on the floor. *one
wing would go root first the other tip first. *then the fuselages in,
one nose first the other tail first. *This could potentially minimize
trailer width.

A couple thoughts for what they might be worth(internet toilet paper).
Picture a wing dolly kinda like most trailers use but set up to accept
roots of 2 wings. This way the wings could be put very close together,
you don't need double tracks, etc. Yep- it might take 2 people working
together to go in and out, but so what. The wings for one glider go on
the right. Second on the left.
Assembly: Pull first fuselage which is tail forward in trailer out and
position. Wings for that glider are on same side. Remove wings and
rig. There may be a trick here if it matters which wing goes on
first.
Repeat for second glider.
The glider that gets flown the most is the one that goes in second.
Warning- old war story. My early mentor was Steve Bennis who was
married to Ginny(now Ginny Schweizer). They used to go on safari to
Texas with their panel truck and a flatbed trailer with two LK's on
it. He said it was a lot of fun except they bioth had different ideas
of where to fly some some retrieves were complicated.
Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. Keep it up

Hank, thanks for the ideas, I like it!

btw I went to one of your first time contest pilot talks a few
conventions ago. really enjoyed it. perhaps this coming season i'll
actually get a chance to go to one!
