Hi Forum,

There has been so much good information and generous contributions regarding trailers for F-16. Gary's design looks like it facilitates ramp launching and loading which I usually do. I also like the softening the springs. The TheMightyHobie18 trailer I have is over sprung for a 230 lb. F-16. It has a main leaf and a shorter helper leaf which I'll remove. I think that'll get it in the ball park.

I think I understand that Pete Pollard's trailer is by Vectorworks. Matt McDonald has told me that the cradles are available. He mentioned the double rollers but not if he had them for sale? I like Wouter's and Tiger Mike's removable cradles for the rear, although i'm not quite sure how they do it. I like Gary's "cups" because he is caring the load out wide near the hulls which puts less stress on the beams which are designed for loads going in the other direction.

Probably, I'll do something like the pictures Pete Pollard posted, with some removable cradles for the rear. Then if I still have energy, I'd like to follow Gary's idea for supporting the forward beam. Talk's cheep, it'll be different than what I'm thinking now. Thanks for everyone's input, there's a wealth on knowledge in this forum.
