Just had a look at it. just has one chain. I guess it would be a 50/50 chance of it getting caught.

Goodaye all

Looking at building a covered trailer to house my plane, was going to build it from scatch until l came up with the idea of using a 32ft caravan chasis.

Just level it off at the floor and leave the legs on it.

Build a lightweight box with a ramp at the end, slide out shelves for the wings.

Keep in mind you will need a engineers report to register it.

Some useless info. Used the trailer last night and had no dramas at all with the short chain on it. Once car was just on the ramps a bit up she went. It holds it at the same angle and the front axle didn't even come off the ground. Couldn't be an easier. Trailer came down and the chain didn't catch. Held on with D shackles so you can remove if you wanted. I think because it has two chain links welded on the attach the shackles it makes it far enough forward to not be an issue. Did in my case anyway.
