This LZ fuselage tool, serves for comfortable push Schempp-Hirth type glider fuselage (Arcus, Duo Discus, Nimbus, Ventus, Discus etc…) into the trailer and out of the trailer.
At the end of flying day/week, glider need to be disassembled and last thing to do is to push fuselage into the trailer. Modern powered gliders, especially two seat self-launchers have very heavy fuselages. With help of other pilot is easier, but if you are alone it can be very difficult task, especially if tail wheel is steerable – integrated in the rudder.
Caution: this tool is not intended for fuselage lifting, but only to push fuselage in and out of the trailer, while tail wheel is rolling on the ground, on extension rail and on the middle rail of typical Cobra trailer.
