Why did the tongue crack and why there? I don't wish to start the
great tongue debate again, but its my firm belief that the hand brake
hits when entering or exiting gas stations and that leaves the weight
of the tow vehicle pulling down on the toungue. What type tow vehicle
do you have, motor-homes with long overhangs are particularly
susceptible.

Hi everyone,

Upon my return home from Cordele I was shocked when I saw that the
tongue of the trailer had almost completely cracked off. Luckily I
noticed the crack while I was hooking up the trailer to tow the glider
from home to the airfield. The crack is just ahead of the hand brake
mechanism. I know other people have experienced simillar problems,
are there any other options apart from ordering replacement parts from
Europe?
