Fuselage moved to hangar

Today we towed the fuselage to Cox Airport. The modified trailer (with the new upper deck) worked great.  We had to drive down a long winding road to access the hangar, and there were several trees with low-hanging limbs in the way.  Michael drove slowly while I moved the branches out of the way with a large push broom so that they wouldn't catch on any part of the fuselage.  But we made it to the hangar just fine.

Michael had added an electric winch at the front end of the trailer, and this made loading and unloading the fuselage a piece of cake.   After  backing the fuselage down the ramps, we wheeled it into the hangar.  We then covered the fuselage with thin plastic sheets to help keep the dust off.   Forgot to take pictures, but we had a few visitors (including a hangar mate and also the airport owner) that were pleasant distractions.  Hours: 3.0
