Be real careful to have ZERO dirt in wheel well of glider and
trailer, NO retreads on trailer (yes USA still use retreads on
trailers) and you need import permit for retreads.!! as there may
be dirt between tread and tyre & get import permit now to import
trailer. Hopefully ASI is in knots (but ASI must go 20kts above
aircraft VNE) but you will need ALT with mb not inches. I have used
Garry brasher as customs agent and does a good job always even if he
goes on holidays. Some USA trailers have brake light shared with
turn indicator so ask and get your Aussie connector and multimeter
so you can sort out lights at Port pick up.

Also the compass in a USA glider will be a northern hemisphere
compass. You need a southern hemisphere version here.
If you are thinking WTF? you haven't been educated about aircraft
magnetic compasses.
