Wing and Fuselage Transport

 Another big day.  We carefully loaded up our newly painted wings onto a trailer, secured them in place with some straps, and transported them to the airport.  This gets them out of way so that we can start painting the fuselage.  Once at the hangar, we set them in a wing-sling and then covered them with some plastic for a little added protection.

Next we loaded up the fuselage for transport back to the home workshop/paint-booth.

We tucked the fuselage into the paint booth, and it does fit nicely.  We will actually be taking it off the gear again and putting it back on the rotisserie before painting.  Hours: 8
