Al-Ko Trailer Tongue failure

If you have frequent issues with dragging, consider shimming your trailer axle with a 1" or 2" tube. A size large (diameter) tires does the same. 1/2" at the axle gives about twice that much more clearance at the aft end of the trailer. Of course, if you rig while the trailer is hitched to the tow vehicle, that changes the angle of departure when you're pulling the fuselage out (watch out for scrapes) and forces you to lift the spars off the dollies from a higher position. Nothing is free in this world.  Chip Bearden ASW 24 "JB"
