I have a cherry 1977 H-16 with a good trailer. However, the trailer only has 4 rollers (each side, fore and aft) which the hulls then rest upon. When I stand on the tramp, while on the trailer, and raise the mast, I sometimes worry about the amount of weight I'm putting on those four points. They are the traditional hard rubber rollers. Am I being crazy? I've seen trailers that have semi-articulating black rubber rollers that are working in tandem. They load-up in pairs so the overall load is displayed by 8 wheels instead of the traditional four. I have no visible distortion of the hull, but I'm still concerned. I know the asymmetric hull works best with rollers, not cradles like the Tiger or H-18.
Anyone else ever seen these tandem roller set ups that actually 'teeter' or rock back and forth?
Thanks fellow flyers, bones.
