Calculations showed that the wings could not continue to increase in size lest they be locked in the basement only to fly some really tight pattern work or be removed by knocking out a wall or lifting of floorboards (Van's doesn't offer a flyout version of the kit yet). So, up they went to the living room, where they will live until some new digs materialize (which happened on 29-Mar-15).
Left wing positioned for pulling out of egress window. Don't worry, there are two 2x6s it rode up on (for the yet-to-be assembled cradle), the carpeted dimple platform for it to rest on until we got into position and a towel was eventually placed on the sill.
Right wing being positioned for removal in the egress window.
Right wing in position for removal. Half in and half out. I sure hope I never achieve a flight attitude that would put the wing like this!
Boy, these are big.
And the depths of the house eject a left wing.
Not a single scratch, bend or dent realized!
