We've had a lot of snow here in North Idaho this year.  Up until last weekend, it has just been extra work and inconvenience for me.  But last Sunday the snow came off my hangar and crushed the trailer for my Kolb Firefly.  Fortunately the Firefly was safe inside my hangar.



I won't know the full extent of the damage for at least a month when the 13 feet of snow against it melts, but it's probably totaled.  There is a possiblity that I might be able to cut off the superstructure and put on a new one.  We'll see.  I had planned a lot of weekends with this trailer this year.



Weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow (Sat.).  I'm going to go flying, so hopefully that will ease the pain.

That's a great sculpture and picture! Is this at your home, or from someone else?

FLA is to dangerous for aircraft due to trailers being sucked up and dropping on hangers during Hurricane season.



Better to move to Arizona where heat is the only problem.

If the chassis is not damaged, Just get a big rubber hammer, pound the aluminum sheeting out, and reinforce the structure with some 4X4's     It would look funny, well maybe horrible, but you would have something to tow your firefly in.
