The trailer seems perfect. Would like more info (especially cost and blueprints) and pictures. LOTS of pictures.

Nice article but only one picture that gave us a hint of what the trailer looks like. Did the dimensions and other pictures end up on the editing room floor?

I too would have like to at least see a picture or two of the trailer. Specs would be nice too. Hope to see more details later - like an article about the trailer - come on EAA, give us some detail please.

Perhaps we can get David K to chime in???

I sent an email this morning to the contact address in the article, with a request to post details of his trailer here. He may or may not respond.

I sent a message to him on the forum here...he's listed as David K.

Just received this reply and have responded with instructions for posting photos in this thread.

Hi Robert

At the present time we are away from our main computer which has all of our trailer photos stored on it. We should be back by May, at which time we'll be able to send pictures to your web site. We are not familiar with posting pictures to the web. Could you please tell us how. We have a CD of trailer details.
The first thing people will need to do is select a trailer which has a rear door opening 7 feet tall and 98 inches wide. They will probably have to special order it. We chose a 24 foot Pace America trailer. The trailer will need to be ordered with tie down rings pre placed and extra strengthening in the front to accommodate a winch. Also, they will need to find someone willing to cut the wheel wells and make them removable. This will accommodate for the wide wheel stance of the RV-12. We used welded nut plates to refasten the wheel wells during travel.

I have to say that David sounds like one great guy and so willing to share his knowledge with others. That is the sign of a real gentleman. Im not even building a 12, but I can see one in my future. The idea of trailering it around the country and then flying it where we wanted to has great appeal.

I look forward to seeing the trailer plans.

Hope that David will post the details of his trailer. I really want to trailer my 12 after it is finished. Trailer may cost me about one years hanger fees around here in Taxyafornia. I'm willing to pay that for a trailer. David???

We just got back from our trip last night. We will work on getting pictures of our trailer posted in a few days. I need to mow the runway first.
