Expiring minds want to know (that happens to own a '27 stored in an aluminum Cobra trailer). - John I don't think that this would have happened to an aluminum-topped trailer because the trailer would have acted as a Faraday cage, and the current would flowed thru the trailer and around the glider. Tom Whatever the trailer was made of; That glider was at the wrong place at the wrong time... And, lightning does not take the least path of resistance. It takes many paths... Unlucky for this poor soul... One of the pics has my 27 inside the hangar..!!!! She likes it there...
