Hi Lazairheads!
I am the new owner of a SeriesII. I just got back from picking the A/C up in Gimli, Manitoba. Man, was it a long haul from North Bay, Ont!!! - 3600km round trip. The guy I bought it from was very helpful and I managed to trailer it back without incident or damage. The trailer I built worked flawlessly.
If anyone is considering trailering across Ont, I highly recommend following the south shore of Lake Superior through the US. The highways are flat, smooth and little traffic - the exact opposite of the Canadian side. Customs was no hassle. Crossing back into Canada at the Sault, they didn't even ask me to open the trailer!!
The Lazair was ground-looped and has damage to T22, T15 and T45. The previous owner said the tubing is all T6 aluminum, but I seem to remember someone posting that the tubing was a more exotic alloy. If anyone knows the answer, I sure would appreciate some guidance. Also the fairing sustained considerable damage. I hope to have the rebuild complete and be flying by the end of the summer.
Much thanks to Shannon and Tyler for their words of encouragement when considering what type of A/C to go with.
