Might depend on how much hassle is involved. Trailer that needs work or is unstable at any speed, I would charge more for. A Cobra that pulls great and makes my van actually get better mileage, my fee would be less. What are you try to move and how quickly do you want to move it? Found out yesterday that the cruise on my car will hold 110 MPH! Steve Had a big dust devil about rip the front door off a CAP K-21 Cobra trailer in NM. Opened it and tore the sheet metal. They didn't have the keys, so I couldn't lock it. Lock the front door of a Cobra trailer people, parked or on the road. I found that at and above 85mph my truck will stay in OD on the upgrades. At 75 it keeps kicking into 3rd, which is god awful. Mostly mountain west, the Ozarks, and Pennsylvania. No tickets yet. Frank AFAIK, there are only four different Cobra trailer key patterns. |

Proved useful at the Worlds, as one team had lost their keys, and just happened to wander over and ask if I had a set they could try out. Not much of an investment, and can be quite handy when someone inevitably comes to the field without their keys. Steve |

Glider delivery
We used my brother's pickup and he's a lapsed glider pilot. Our own trip
was from Moriarty to Syracuse, NY so the Chicago to Elmira delivery only added about 150 miles to the trip. The owner was in a hurry to have the glider delivered to Harris Hill. We drove a couple of hours and got a room. The trailer reduced our mileage, but the money helped pay for our original trip. Everybody was happy. "Steve Leonard" wrote in message ...

Only time I had a real issue other than the K21 trailer was solved as George's shop had about 50 key types hanging on the wall. Found one that worked for the front and another for the back;^) Frank |
