Looks like a Cox Babe Bee? Oh the memories of those line control airplanes. And getting my finger thwacked by the prop. :-)rebelrider.mike wrote:Still waiting for the actual trailer to be ready. Any day now... Or next month.
My wife asked an interesting question: Should we get insurance on it? I don't know. I suppose with the money I'll be putting into it, it's probably a good idea. Progressive does my motorcycle insurance. They're happy to insure my trailer, but I'll have to figure out what the stuff I add to it is worth. So I've added prices to all the things on my weight spreadsheet. I'll be able to add it all up as I go. I don't know if insurance is even required in Washington on a cargo or camping trailer. I'll have to go look.
It seems the planning is pretty much done. I haven't thought of anything lately to add or change. I've started buying a few parts while I wait for the trailer itself. I've got the battery cells ordered, and found a charge controller for the solar panels. I'll be buying them next, I think.
I've been helping my grandpa clean out his shed the last couple months. Unfortunately, he won't be around much longer and he doesn't want us all stuck with his accumulated stuff after he's gone. So we're doing it now as a sort of early inheritance. I found a small sink in his stash that will fit the trailer perfectly. He's got all sorts of interesting things tucked away, and almost everything has a story behind it. I found a box of tiny 0.8 cc model airplane engines that were seized up and hadn't been run in 45 years. I got them apart and cleaned up, and had enough good parts to put one working engine together. Grandpa got a kick out of seeing one run again.
Anyway, we're still going through stuff, so who knows what I'll find that can be used in the trailer build...
