At 7:30 this morning, a truck hauling the biggest trailer I've ever seen pulled up on our quiet little street:
Inside were my wings and fuselage, along with wings, fuselage, and finish kit for an RV-8 (at the front of the trailer, not seen in this photo). The driver said he'd just delivered an RV-10 the previous day. Three airplanes in one trailer – did I say it was a big trailer?
Coworker John volunteered to help unload. In this photo you can see how cold and windy it was this morning – these wingtips were trying to fly away on their own:
The box says "Fragile – High Dollar Aircraft Parts – Handle With Care".
Two people can lift a wing easily:
The wings will sit on the floor of the garage (on top of styrofoam cushions) until I can get the wing rack finished:
The fuselage sits on padded sawhorses:
It's a good thing it's all full of packing materials and miscellaneous parts, or else I'd probably be sitting in there right now making airplane noises.
Unfortunately I don't have time to do anything other than post this update tonight, but I'm sure I'll be keeping busy for the next… oh, year or two.
