Would you have the same disregard for your gliders POH? I would certainly hope not! Tow ratings are set for some VERY good reasons - don't ignore them! Furthermore, they are set with MUCH shorter trailers in mind than glider trailers. I suggest that you Google "trailer towing accidents" before you decide to disregard these limitations.



Sorry?
As I mentioned in my posting, the limitations *in Germany* are
1.500/3.000 lbs.
No need to disregard any limitation.

And, no, there a re no further limitations on the length of the
trailer.
