Anschau Komet – other models: the collective page of sailplane trailers from Waldlaubersheim, from KOMET III to KOMET VIII, Classic, Special-Edition and ECO-Smart, unladen weight 470 to 1,100 kg
This page gathers the Komet-range trailers from Anschau Technik of Waldlaubersheim that the register could not assign to a narrower subgroup. Under the Komet name Anschau builds exclusively transport trailers for sailplanes: a welded, torsion-resistant frame of square aluminium tube carries a canopy of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic housing the glider's dismantled wings and fuselage. The type logic follows the model names: the base range runs in Roman numerals from Komet III to Komet VIII, alongside the equipment levels Classic, Special-Edition and ECO-Smart, or ECO.SMART as the newer designation for the same line.

The register lists here 28 versions with unladen weights from 470 to 1,100 kg, gross weights from 850 to 1,800 kg, lengths from 9,030 to 11,250 mm and widths from 1,600 to 2,150 mm.
Sailplane trailers are a niche market: buyers are almost exclusively gliding clubs and private owners moving their aircraft between airfield, competition and winter storage. The great length at low weight comes from wingspans of up to 18 metres lying lengthwise in the trailer; the low unladen weight keeps the towing load within reach of small tow vehicles.
Used, the condition of the GRP canopy matters most – cracks, leaking seals and water ingress into the wing and fuselage linings are the most common faults. Beyond that come axle, tyres and the overrun brake, the movement of the internal wing cradles, and the drawbar and jockey wheel; spare parts come through Anschau itself.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
