Peter, As others say it is unlikely to fit the S10 trailer but my suggestion was to look at it to get some ideas. The trailer I saw in the US was not the Komet clamshell type so sounds like the one at Camden is like the one I saw. Mike At 08:46 PM 9/07/2015, you wrote: Thanks, There may

Engine hoist could work. However the Kookaburra is not that heavy. I think a combination of rolling wing fittings, levers and stands should work. This is not an issue for a Kookaburra owner alone. Anyone with a Nimbus, Janus or any other new heavy glider just has to fit out their trailer with

If the Stemme trailer is not going to be useful for the Kookaburra would it be adaptable for a Duo Discus because we could do with one at GCV? Colin From: aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net on behalf of

I don't know about the size of a Cobra one but the Stemme I work on has a Komet trailer that definitely is not tall enough for a kookaburra wing. Cath Sent from my iPad On 9 Jul 2015, at 1:27 pm, John Orton johno...@gmail.com wrote: Hi I have done some work on/with a Stemme S10

I've deleted most comms. on this issue and cannot recall the initial request. I was present at the ES 52b's test flight and from recall the initial trailer was an elongated version of the ES 52's trailer and suitably widened and strengthened. Five people were required to load her on the trailer.

The unloved trailer at Camden was not for the Camden based s10. It is a traditional (and large) steel clad design and belonged to Neil Cox, who based his s10 at Bankstown. Neil was tragically killed , along with his 4 year old son, due to an engine fire when returning to Bankstown from Camden

I think there are still a fair number of units out there which may have an issue with the Garmin GPS25-LVC engine issue with a date problem. The units will still navigate but you can not down load a secure flight. With the model 20 logger it is necessary to fit a new battery INSIDE the GPS
