A distinct advantage of a powered parachute is that it is fairly compact when compared to a conventional ultralight or light sport aircraft. But like any aircraft it's life expectancy is greatly extended when it is stored inside. Hiding an aircraft away from Mother Nature's, sun, rain, sleet, snow and wind makes for safer flying. Classic Manufacturing of Sturgis Mi produces specialty trailers used by NHRA, IHRA as well as stock car, motorcycle, snowmobiles, water craft and camping enthusiast for over 20 years. Their latest design is the Aviator series of trailers. The units are available for powered parachutes in 8 foot widths and either 14 or 24 foot lengths for storing and moving either one or two powered parachutes. It is also available in a 26 foot length for light sport aircraft. The Aviator series trailers are all steel frame, and are Ziebart undercoated. The rear door when down acts as a loading ramp, and is spring loaded, similar to a garage door for easy opening and
closing.
When in storage air is circulated through the trailer via a roof vent and can be increased by the installation of an optional vent located on the side wall of the trailer. According to Randy Brueck responsible for Aviation Sales of Classic trailers one person can easy to load and unload a powered parachute from the Aviator series of trailers.
When a customer is unloading his or her powered parachute and is not hooked to a tow vehicle it is necessary to drop four corner post stands to stabilize the trailer.
For customers requiring assistance a hand or electric winch can be installed. The single unit powered parachute trailer can easily be towed by a half ton pick up truck, SUV, or mini van. The trailer comes standard with an electric brake axle, which would require the owner to install an electric brake module in the tow vehicle. For more information contact: |
