| 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.
