Default Top ten glider trailer features?

I've got two of these on the back of my LAK T-4 trailer and love them:

Build in a storage box in front of the fuselage which occupies the full
width of the trailer at the front (under the spars) and is narrower further
aft to allow the wings to slide in. Make it go all the way back to the nose
cone of the glider.

I prefer screw down feet to using the tailgate. The tailgate hinge tends
to wear with time from using it as a support.

Also if you are using the tailgate as the support you can't close the
tailgate and have the trailer not at risk of turning while you are gone.

Get a nice set of screw jacks and you will be much happier in the long
run.
