Wow!
Please don't clip anything!
The trailer *looks* as though it might be somewhat more stable with a
wider track?The outer towed bar-ends *look* vulnerable to snagging on vegetation?
How does it tow, especially on bends?
No problems taking the lanes, though!
Excellently lit.

wider track?Yes. I'm considering moving the two outside tracks 4 - 6" inward.

No problems... yet!

It's hard work uphill!
I once had it tip over on a bend. It was a combination of me taking
the corner too fast (about 8mph) and descending from a blanket
crossing at the road junction.Quoted message said:

No problem with cars overtaking carefully either.

The two middle bikes are backward facing and the two outside bikes are
forward facing. That means that the lights on the outside bikes are
the trailer lights.Some more pictures...

Are the rear-facing, white reflectives legal?

I suspect that technically they are, as they're part of the load and not
actually attached to the trailer[1], but it might be a grey area.[1] Which might cast doubt on the legality of using the bike lights as
trailer lights.
