Default Jet Trailer....

At the request of many (who have seen it ) I have finally put some pictures on my web site (tips section) of my trailer layout so you can duplicate it. If you have any questions just shoot me an email....

Enjoy...
Todd

Looks great Todd. I just bought Frank's trailer. If you don't mind, would you stop over and set it up just like yours!


Just kidding. I think Frank's has a similar setup, but if not, I plan to do something like yours.

Hey Todd.

With a trailer like that, I could tranport all model jets in Denmark at one time. (No, just kidding)

Nice setup.

Hey Todd.

Actually the F104 is with the guys from Great Northern Models in Canada, since I wasn't able to bring the plane back with me, without ha´ving to pay a fortune for it. (I got it there for free)

If you really are interested, please contact Kevin from GNM. Maybe we can work something out. (Special price only for you, my friend. haha)

All the best

Todd, what strap are you using on that Rafaele? Orange plane. The black strap? How was it pulled tight? and how is it connected to the plywood?

Seanreit,

The black straps (around the Eurofighter ) that hold the planes to the sliding trays is 2" wide Velcro (they sew on type). I cut 2" squares of ABS panel and screwed the velcro straps to the board, sandwiching them with the ABS squares. The velcro is soft enough that it does not scratch the planes and with the foam padding they dont move an inch in transport. This system works extremely well!

Hmmm....Convincing the wife will be the hard part . Maybe Ed and Kevin will make it their Simjet Demo plane with me as the pilot ....

When I asked my wife if I could go to Florida Jets for a week, I had the same problem convincing her. (A bottle of red wine and a romantic evening did the job Try it, maybe it will work for you too )

Try and talk to Ed & Kevin, and see what you can work out with them. The idea sounds interesting.

Well, tried the wine and romatic evening. Even went in the hot tub I bought her for Xmas. No luck.... :angry: She says no more planes till I break one or sell one

Of course you could always let me borrow it :idea:

All the Best Stig!

Hey Todd.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you had a good time in the hot tub as well.

I have just put an add up on this forum, where I put the F104 for sale. If I don't sell it, maybe we should work somthing out at a later time.

All the best.
