double wide trailer

What sort of car does your partner have? I would imagine the
glider weighs next to nothing. You don't need large cars and
pick-ups to safely tow trailers, almost any car can be used.
Much cheaper and flexible to fit a tow bar to her car.

A bit on the gigantic side...

Jim,

I've talked with Garrett and seen pictures of their party wagon.
Not
sure I'm ready for that kind of upgrade. I've got an old beater
1994
GMC 2 wheel drive V6 pickup with 256,000 miles on it that I
would like
to keep for now for a tow vehicle. Not ready to upgrade a
super heavy
duty diesel gas guzzler.

Martin -

I'm having trouble visualizing what you typed. Perhaps its just
too
early. The fuselage is ~20-22 ft long. Each wing is about 18
or 19
ft long.

I've got a friend with a Duster and because of its massive fixed
center section the solution for his trailer was to lay the wings
flat
on the floor. I'm wondering if maybe a good solution for the
double
Cherokee trailer would be two racks for the 4 wings on the
floor. one
wing would go root first the other tip first. then the fuselages
in,
one nose first the other tail first. This could potentially
minimize
trailer width.

she has 5 speed 4 cylinder subaru outback impreza. it is not a tow
vehicle.

she will share driving on a long trip. this season we've probably put
5000 miles on the truck/trailer together. At least twice we've pulled
the Cherokee from sunrise to sunset (Marfa - Wichita and Portales, NM
- Wichita). Neither one of us is interested in long solo drives. We
do enjoy each others company on long road trips though. She'd rather
ride with me and not have her glider than drive solo across the
country. I don't blame her. I'm not interested in driving solo either
to places like Marfa, Caesar Creek, or Elmira from here in Wichita.
With a double trailer then we both can go flying when we get there.

Make some simple scale models out of foam or balsa and start playing
around with them. It's much easier to figure out when you have
something solid in your hands that can be arranged at will. You'll
have it knocked out a couple days before the person with the computer
and fancy software.

Why isn't it?

Four cylinder Subarus are extremely popular tow vehicles around here,
the Legacy perhaps a bit more so than the Impreza but there is little
difference between them.

Here is mine (1995 2.5 non turbo) with our club's DG1000 behind it. It
tows it very easily, including over mountains.

Her Outback Impreza is not a 2.5L, It is either a 1.8 or 2.2L and I
think its the 1.8L. Sure I suppose it could tow her trailer, I mean,
we've all seen the picture of the smart car with the Cobra trailer
behind it. But it wouldn't tow my trailer as mine is way too heavy
for the car. Plus the point is that driving separately is not an
option. We're both going to be going wherever we are going in the
same vehicle. So why not try to bring both gliders?
