Title: Moving the wings to the hangar
Today was an exciting day because I had Grayson, a coworker/friend, help me move my assembled wings from my dining room and into the hangar using his truck. We ended up borrowing a glider trailer from Alton at the airport, though there was jerry-rigging needed right from the beginning in order to get the trailer lights connected. I decided that transporting the wings while they were on the wing cart would probably be the safest option. We had to first unload the wings from the cart and set them on my lawn in order to fit the wing cart through the front door of my house. With the cart relocated inside the trailer and secured with ratchet straps, we loaded the wings and secured them with straps as well. Using some pieces of split foam pipe insulation was a great way to protect the trailing edges of the wings from being bent. In the end, both wings and the wing cart made it safely to the airport and are now sitting in my hangar, along with the aileron, flaps, pushrods, and vertical stabilizer. My plan is to try to fill some avgas into both of the fuel tanks and check for any leaks before I do any further assembly of the wings, since any further work will make accessing the fuel tanks harder in the future. Many thanks to Grayson and Alton for helping with the move!
