Title: Fuselage arrives / wings depart
After XPO losing my crate and having to call them every day for updates, it finally spontaneously showed up at the house today. Perfect timing as I'm hauling off the wings this weekend. 2//17: rented a UHaul and packed up the wing. Lesson learned.- a 15' truck must be counting the attic space because I had to put the wings on an angle to get them to fit. I was hoping to transport the cabin too too but it won't fit with wings skewed. Also note that the loading ramp is 25” wide, about 2” narrower than the wheels on my cradle. After struggling with loading the wings individually into the truck and then loading the cradle into the truck, there was no reasonable way to get the wings back into the cradle once it was all in there. Just too tight. So since the wings were out of the cradle, I took the opportunity to remove and reposition the wheels so they would fit within the ramp. Then reloaded the wings and pushed it up the ramp. That sentence grossly simplifies a fairly difficult process for just the wife and me but we got it done. Off to Houston to storage. Purchases: XPO shipping, UHaul van
