But of course! I already have a homebuilt trailer license for the

changed shape and color.

BTW, this is 1 mile on small roads, Sunday morning, I dont have any
gyros, 20 mph the whole way, no pot-wholes.

The Dyke Delta is designed to be towed on it's own wheels. One of the
builders, lives in Conneticut, had problems getting it registered as a
trailer. Seems they don't allow trailers to have their own propulsion
system. YMMV.

Well it doesn't have it's own propulsion system for propelling it
down the highway. I'm sure the reason for th erestriction is so
people can't buy trailer plates for vehicles that are supposed to
have different (and probably more expensive) plates.


Doesn't matter. Jim had to go home and build a trailer after the DOT
guy said he couldn't get a trailer license for his airplane. That was
Conneticut, I believe.

A portable trailer-mounted generator has an engine, a propulsion
system for electrons. Would he have to put it on a second trailer
to tow it in Connecticut? Or would the fact that the engine doesn't
drive the wheels be what matters?

I think maybe he should have talked to more than one DOT guy,
maybe politely asked to talk to a supervisor.
