Hangar: The move to the hangar. Day 1.

The waiting game is over:  I secured a hangar at the airport.  Time to move the whole kit-and-caboodle.  Day 1 was moving everything but the fuselage.  Day 2 was the fuselage.

A 20' U-Haul could easily accommodate all but the fuselage.  Total cost $62.95 ($29.95 rental, $24.49 mileage plus taxes and some fees).


Here's my friend and I moving the right wing into the truck after we placed and secured the wing cradle inside.


Inside are the wings, engine crane, two EAA chapter 1000 tables, horizontal stabilizer, vertical stabilizer, wing tips and a board (to be placed under the plane to catch oil).  The elevators, desk chair and wet-dry vac were brought in my friend's pickup truck since we ran out of rope to tie things down in the U-Haul (in fact, you'll notice in the picture below that the vertical stab was not tied down at all).


The hangar with parts strewn about prior to organization.


The next day, the fuselage was moved.
