Karl's Sideways trailer

For the short haul to his airport (2 blocks from his house)-  Karl invented this sideways trailer.  He uses it to haul his completely setup trike down the street to the airport from his garage at home.

It has a steel arm on the front side of the trailer (to the left in photo) that goes up to the wing to stabilize it from bouncing up or down.

Towing it sideways,the trike can fit down a normal street.

    Thanks for putting those pics on there. I have been too technologically challenged to figure out how to put them on or I would have done it sooner. After I had Fry's work on my computer they formatted my drive and I lost all my pics before 2010. I figured out I can get some of them back by searching some of my e mails I sent before that but it is a long slow process. Once I finish this deck project (career) I will try to recover some that I sent people back then. The trailer started life as a dune buggy T trailer back in 1966. I have pics of the construction and with my Aerotrike Scout on it. Also I have some out there of a fixture I used to rotate it upside down for painting when I finally updated it for the Airborne.

    I remember a photo of that thing you built to paint the trailer (great paint job BTW)-  it looked like an industrial rotisserie.  ;)
