Airplane Hauler project, pg 13... cont'd

3 weeks and 3 days after the beginning of the project, I finally pulled the trailer to the RDRC Flying Site for the first time, today. Wow, it pulls very quietly, smooth, and I can't even tell it's behind my little Ford Escape. My Escape is a 2002 model with 3.0 V6, and over 302,000 miles at this time, so I'm trying to keep the towing load as light as possible. I finished the trailer up and came in under $300 total expense, a far cry from the $3500 + I found on the new 5'x8' trailers, and most of the used trailers I found were at or beyond $2000. Here's a couple of pics, just before I headed to the field...
