The Big Move

Moving the fuselage to the airport was seriously nerve wracking for me!  I was so afraid of it getting damaged.  But it went great!

I rented a Penske truck with a hydraulic lift.  We placed the main wheels on the lift.

My friend Andy and I manually raised the tail.

My wife raised the lift.

After a very careful and slow drive to the airport we extracted the fuselage in reverse order.  If you pay close attention, the door didn’t open all the way and it scuffed the top of the fuselage.  Not bad, but needed a little paint touchup.

Success!!  One fuselage in the hangar!
