Brief Description:  Move to hangar

Had the chance to borrow a jetski trailer for the short trip to the hangar, and without the engine that was well within the weight and handling limits. Approx 5 nm to the hangar from the garage, and it was time to get the pieces in one place again.

Managed to single-handedly load the plane on the trailer and then had my daughter arrive to help secure the load (used the faux spar for main strap-down), drive escort, and unload at the hangar. 80% of the trip was a straight-shot thru the neighborhood at 25 mph. The remainder never exceeded 35 mph at 10:30pm. Very light traffic, 3-4 other cars in 5 miles.

The only casualty was a bent aft tie-down bracket. Will have to remove and straighten it. (YES, that panel was clecoed down for the trip) Without the engine the tail is temporarily about 20-25 lbs, making it easy to manuver.)
