Big
Bird Trailer Set-up

So you think its time to get
the "Right Trailer" for
those Big Birds you've been taking to the field and out of state
fly-ins?
Blaine Austin (BlaineAustin.com)
was kind enough to share his trailer design vision that
meets his "Big Birds" needs. Its secure, light
weight and allows him to quickly ready his birds for
flight at the field.
While there're many brands to choose from, the one thing
you need to do first, is to think about how you want to set one up!.
How many of us have met or know an individual who "got the
great deal" on a trailer only to find out it didn't meet their
needs.
I don't claim to know it all regarding trailer
set-ups but when I saw
this one, I thought I'd share it with you. Thanks Blaine! |

This is a 16 x 8 United
brand trailer. You don't want try to pull this one with a Geo Metro |
|
Here's a shot of Blaine
Austin's 50% & 35% CAP 232's |
|
In addition to the CAP's,
there are two 40% aircraft with there stabs taken off here. |
|
Notice how nice the side
door lends itself to taking an inside photo ... among other
uses! |

Blaine used E-Tracks
and Web Panels available from shops that build
Convention booths. |
|
I'm sure the trailer manufacture would
have options as well but check out different sources. |
|
The owners tie down system is straight
forward and effective. |
|
In the Twins Cities
companies like GES Exposition & Brede Exposition would have'em |

The mesh panels strength
and ease of use is highlighted |
|
Blaine's wing
holders are straight forward and simple. |

|
Warbirds
Flyers would need to
consider tie downs to their fuselage cradles. |
