    Talk to Chris at 913-706-3631 or ccruise@ae491.org

    $5,500 for a 24' tailer custom door works good and looks good. A bit heavy but I wont complain for the money.... They did us real good.

    Hi Chase.
    I just bought a '4 place' Triton Jet Ski trailer. It is plenty long enough to haul my Model IV, and is low enough to the ground so as not to be so high. Has dual torsion axles. Frame rails are 78" centerline so with the new bush gear I just installed, it will fit perfectly on the rails. There is an elevated center rail that will help support the tail wheel. This thing is light enough to move around by hand. The total length is 26ft. It tows really nice. Now if I can sell my old holesclaw trailer, I can work on getting this one built for the Kitfox. -Tom , N.J.

    Depending on your state law as to the max width , at 1 time it was 8' the greyhound bus got it bumped to 102", i dont know if wider is legal in all states, wider the 102" that is

    i believe that legally 102" Is the widest allowed. but I've been told it's not difficult to get a waiver, or take your chances. I haven't looked into it yet. but I think that extra 6" is necessary for a model 7.

    102" is the max. Oversize load waivers are sometimes not that easy to get, depending on the state. Some also limit which roads you can travel on and some even require escort vehicles. There are also costs involved with permits and they are usually only good for one trip. Take your chances in CA and I know it costs big time if you are caught - they love it! Best bet would be to check with your state for specifics - they are all different.

    I posted this last fall upon completion. It came in at 1980# empty. Pulls quite well with my V6 5 speed 1500 Silverado. The chassis is a single axle boat trailer. this is designed around a model4 speedster but could handle the full length wing with a little modification at the nose. Width is 101.5" outside and 99" inside. The trough for tailwheel allows for the roof to taper in the front giving it that wedge shape. It's been to 2 flyins so far and exceeded my expectations.

    Someday,,this would be cool,..a lift inside similar to a nascar trailer to lift a vehicle in the cargo bay so you can transport 2,, with a camper in the front section,..on one side an over sized awning that could serve as an attached hangar to keep the plane out of the sun when not flying..
