Thought I would share my new trailer build with you guys.

Bought a 6x10 carry on trailer last weekend after getting the thumbs up from the wife. It only cost me dinner and Fiddler on the Roof at Wolf Trap. I didn't mind dressing up a little for this deal. LOL

I figured I would keep it simple and I'll have more details as I build. So far I've stained and carpeted the trailer. Tomorrow I will get the power installed. Build a work area and wing rack. I want to also build and area above the 33% for two other planes. Keeping it pretty simple. More to follow. Here are a few pictures.

Graphics coming next week for the outside.

Friend of mine did the electrical work. Just enough to do small stuff and run my charging station.

Gary,

Be sure to talk to Bob at Hobby Hangar about the system he used for the upper shelf mounting.  It seems pretty versatile.

Finished one shelf and one wing rack. I may take off a day next week to work on it.

Got these cool plane tie downs from Maluk Industries. Check out the website.
