KOLB TRAILER 

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks. It was fun to build.

The trailer was just built on the go. It was a perfect custom fit to the Kolb. It worked perfect for my needs. I do not have any plans and I have now sold the plane and trailer, so unfortunately I won't be able to remember any dimensions. Thanks.

I can't remember. I have sold the trailer now so I can't measure it.

@@heliguy02 it looks like 72" maybe, I'm trying to build something like this now for my firestar

Thanks. I never had any problem trailering with the wings on, but i didn't travel very far from my house to where I'd fly. I could travel about 55 to 60 mph. Once I got a little faster the trailer would start to sway just a little. Maybe due to the large surface area of the wings. Thanks again.

It’s not that you need to take the wings off, but you need to support the weight of the wings on something besides the pin in the fuselage. Tony was just lucky he didn’t tear up his boom. I had my kolb transport inside a truck and the bouncing on that pin tore 2” hole on each side. Had to replace the boom.

@@scottluther6699 kolb says you're supposed to make at least some kind of a fairing to keep the wind from hitting the tail and folded wing head on too. I've got an old foam mattress I was thinking of cutting up to support the bottom of the wings in the trailer somehow, I think if that hole gets enlarged it'll slap around in there and ruin it in no time going down the highway, I bet just wrapping a bungee around the tube and then over the top of the fuse will dissipate the downward force on the hole enough tho. this trailer design is great but I'm worried about the narrow axle width, a wind gust could just blow the trailer over on the highway.

Hello, No, the trailer is not a modified boat trailer. It is completely scratch built and custom fit just for my Kolb. Although I have seen many nicely modified boat trailers used for planes.
