After a couple of weeks following an inspiring and very good thread on building a small trailer http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_31..._1/key_/tm.htm (link to thread) I can stand it no longer and must have one for myself. The motivating factors are; bidding a fond fair well to my full size Tahoe, gas prices headed for $3.00 per gallon and beyond (just like Star Trek), and not being able to fit any plane larger than a postage stamp into my fuel efficent ride. Most flying fields are a $5.00 trip away in my beloved Tahoe. So owning a trailer for my planes to ride in seems to be a great option. I just can not justify $2,000 or more for a store bought mobile toy closet! Besides that, how many airplanes/engines/radios...????

Here is what I have planned,

1) Trailer frame purchased from Harbor Frieght http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=90154 for a cost of 249.99 plus tax ($15.00) total $264.99

I will keep a running total at the end of each post for your reference.

2) Build the box from wood available from the local hardware and painted with off the shelf latex (nose friendly no smell) paint.

3) Tow trailer filled with airplanes to local flying field with my 30mpg car often!

Lets get started!
