Don,t forget to apply to Feds in Canberra "To import a motor vehicle" - your
trailer - or it WILL become embarrassing at entry time.

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.
