My strongest advice is to consider the trailer first. A Cobra. Yes, there
are several copies but....get a Cobra. Whatever ship is inside of the Cob ra trailer is going to be wonderful. I second that. I've seen a few gliders obtain damage because of not-so ideal trailers. A trailer might be fine if you're fit and have a strict checklist, but when you outlanded after a long flight you might not pay attention. It would be great if a well-designed trailer can save you at this moment. I got one after someone scratched my wing when he wasn't paying attention. And I've seen a few club gliders obtain damage because of bad trailers. The second STRONG suggestion is to get a one man rigging system. I use the Cobra system for both my gliders. I have been very happy. The only dings and dents in my planes are when people helped me rig instead of using the one-man-rigging system. People mean well but push and tug and lift and low er the wings at the wrong times and that is when I have obtained my "rashes ." Also true. Unfortunately you don't make a lot of friends when (de-)rigging your glider is a pain. Roel |
