Yesterday has a BIG day. Wings moved to the airport for storage, and the fuselage came home... caused quite a stir in the neighborhood...
Trusty wing transport jig is working out exceptionally well.
So part II was to get the fuselage home. We knew it would fit in the trailer, as that is how we received it from the transport company. My wing jigs had to be dismantled in order for the fuselage to fit in the shop...
There was no way I was just going to pitch them... so I remade them into 4 smaller benches.
And then poof - it fit (barely)...
Then it was off to the hanger to organize down there a bit. We had to move everything around to get the wings in, and did the bare minimum at the time... It is really nice not having a fuselage in the corner of a T hanger.
Been ordering lots of parts this week

- T3 from Airframes Alaska
- Tundra lite tailwheel from Jim Pekola
- Seat belt upgrade kit, upper cable cover, and other bits from Glasair
