Trailer to move Jodel wing - wanted

[Pete Turton]

I have to move a Jodel wing and fuselage from a farm strip in Cheshire to Sleap in Shropshire. I intend to use two supports to suspend the wing Leading edge pointing down - already built these... So basically looking for a flat bed trailer 20 - 25 feet long. I'd prefer to borrow/rent rather than buy. Interested in any information. Please send me a PM. Thanks

Hi,

did the same job a few weeks ago.

Have pm'd you with some info and a possible contact, but I the trailer was not mine so I can't help with that aspect.

Have you considered using a vehicle recovery firm? We have had a number of RV's arrive for assembly on the back of vehicle transporters.

regards,

Colin

I had the same problem with my D112 wing and I borrowed a trailer from the local gliding club. It was not the usual type of enclosed super fit trailer but a long open girder thing with odd wheels???
It had two long rails quite high up and the wing fitted across a frame I made of 2X4 and sat on the wing bolts through the frame with a smaller frame at each end to stop the wing rocking end the end it was stood up on the leading edge with four adustable tie rods to stop it falling sideways off the trailer.
contact me on 07790808243 and I will try and send photos of the move by email/
