After researching the market of other SE-projects and a little negotiating, we reached a deal. Back down to Kingsport with my buddy Trevor where we collected a 16' Penske box-truck. Again, it was a 90+ degrees and it took a few hours, but we stuffed this airplane into the truck,
A long-day for sure: drove down (350 miles), loaded the truck (couple hours), and drove back home (same 350 miles again). I drove the truck, Trevor drove the Ford.
A big thank-you for Trevor for this one...!
Wings went in first. Hung them on the walls with Harbor Freight shipping blankets and a bunch of screw
Then the fuselage
And finally, the engine. Thank goodness for the neighbor with a front loader!
