So, for any that were involved with the returning of the prototype

trailer the plane was in for shipping back to Germany? =A0 Did the
glider load into the trailer over the tongue, or in the more
conventional way, through the back of the trailer? =A0Was the trailer
still a canvas covered box, or had it been skinned with metal? =A0The
plane was de-registered from the US in 2005.

Sort of working a little history project. =A0Any information would be
appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

The original factory trailers I have seen in pictures were front-load
and canvas covered.

Just so we are clear, I will murder anyone who crashes S/N 12012 due
to incompetence and survives the accident.... Just Say'in......
