Title: Picked up used wing& empennage kit
On 09-07-19 Craig Noah helped me pick up the empennage & wing kit. I say helped, but he supplied the truck, trailer & moving pads. All I had to do was cover breakfast afterward. Pretty sweet deal. I bought this kit from two brothers here in ICT, one is an engineer at NIAR and the other works for Airbus in some capacity. They've been working on this since 2006 and have it mostly completed with the exception of one wing skin and the fiberglass work. I also got a DRDT-2 dimpler in the same deal. After looking all over the country for a second hand kit, I found this one pretty much in my backyard so it was no problem to make two trips. We wrapped the flight controls & loose stuff loose in moving blankets and just laid them flat on the trailer floor, then came back for the wings. They just got moved in their stand by screwing it to the floor of the trailer and then padding them with moving blankets to keep them from swaying. Also used several straps to make sure everything stayed in place. It was only about 5 miles to my house on city streets. If we were going X/C I probably would have done it a little differently, but it worked out okay. No damage in transit apparent. We just set everything in the garage and then I ran over to harbor freight and picked up a bunch of moving blankets so I could give the other ones back to Craig.
