Brief Description:  Wing Lift & Horizontal Tail Frame

Today my daughter Shannon, a Yosemite Park Ranger on a detail here at their Washington headquarters, helped me raise the right wing up to the ceiling in the garage for storage. After having already prepped everything for the event, the two of us made short work of it.

After lifting the wing, I cleaned the table off and my daughter and I brought the first fuselage piece up from the basement - the rear bottom skin - plus a bunch of the other associated pieces. After measuring the centerline on all the new pieces, I built jigs to assemble the two horizontal tail frame pieces and attach them to the aft end of the bottom skin.
