We are getting close to the point of adding fabric to our project. In order to do this, we need more room in our garage. We plan on taking the fuselage and wings to Cox Aerodrome where Michael has a hangar.
In order to transport the fuselage with gear attached, we needed to create a platform on top of Michael's utility trailer. Holes were drilled in the railing at uniform spacing. These holes were later used to up-drill into the 5/8" plywood deck. A 2x6 backbone/joist was placed down the middle with 4x4 posts. 1/4" carriage bolts were placed in the holes going through the plywood and aluminum railing. A nice 45 degree corner cut was done for looks. Hours: 5
