Hi Derek,
Quite possibly, some might say exactly the same thing about the aircraft!
Gliding legend Doug Robinson, (from GCV), called the short wing version a
Brickaburra. Was this tongue in cheek I wonder?
I think that somewhere along the line I helped to rig a couple of LW
Kookaburra's, but this
Sounds hideous...

Hi
I have done some work on/with a Stemme S10 trailer, it was the S10 that was
a Camden for many years. I have been told it was the first Cobra trailer
built for an S10. It is a large clamshell Cobra (I think) with a fibreglass
top.
The arrangement is the outer wing panels go in the sides as per
Derek.
If the Stemme trailer is available I'm prepared to take it away to a good
and useful home.
Noel.

Might also be worth talking to some Skylark 4 owners in the UK.
I’ve seen a couple of closed trailers from which they could be rigged and
de-rigged with 2 people in about 15 minutes - ok, a single seater, but a very
heavy centre section. They used a rotating/lifting frame to take the centre
Peter,
I'd have a look at the trailer for the Stemme S10.
The one I saw had a kind of crane for the center
section built into the trailer. Can't remember
much else about it as I wasn't that interested
and it was twenty plus years ago.
Similar problem. Two seat, wide fuselage, three
piece
Up until last week my dad owned a Skylark 4 in the UK. I flew it in May. The
trailer was quite compact for the size of the glider. The 2 tips are to the
left, roots positioned front and rear of the trailer. The centre section is on
the right. The centre section has large wheels at each end and
Theres an unused and unwanted Stemme trailer sitting at Camden Airport if
anyone wished to take it away and modify it.
It originally was owned by Steve Fossett. Neil Coxs widow didnt want it
and our club has no use for it.

No, The trailer is a modified open flat bed trailer, to which the Glider
is sort of bolted on.
Getting the wing centre section off was difficult for 3 people. Getting
the fuselage off may take a vertical lift crane!
A redesign is required so that no one lifts anything. I am still crowd
