We moved the wing to the hangar (15 miles) yesterday. It was a case of finding a suitable trailer to put it in, and the glider trailer that a friend loaned me was perfect, if rather long......
The wing fitted perfectly, and to make sure that it didn't move around en route, Sam "took a trailer ride" with it on the way there. We only passed a couple of Police vans....
We then set to work putting the undercarriage on which took an hour or two.
Before.....
After.....
We need to be able to fit the fuselage to the wing next week, so decided that to suspend the wing on trestles was the answer. The fuse' will be lowered onto the wing, bolted, and then the main wheels/brakes attached. Then, with some Herculean feat of strength, we need to lift it all, remove the trestles, and lower it to the ground....
Any ex-Britain's strongest men out there?
