I took the day off on Friday and drove down to Vans to pick up the Wing kit, a quart of tank sealant and a few MK-319-BS blind rivets to finish off the elevator. I got there around lunch time and was surprised to see a line at the front desk. I had a nice conversation with a couple local builders who were in picking up parts on their lunch hour while I waited my turn. It was Bruce Swayze (RV7A) and I didn’t catch the other guy’s name.
They loaded my pickup out back and back north I went. Two big crates. The 8’x3’box in the bed with the gate down, and the long (15’) and skinny box on the lumber rack. It started raining as soon as I pulled out. I stopped at Mrs. Beasely’s half way home for the fish and chips.
Claira helped me get the crates out of the pickup and into the garage when I got home. I unpacked them and moved all the parts down to the basement shop. Everything stayed dry for the most part. There was a little bit of water that leaked in around the seams of the box and got some of the paper wet. They do and excellent job packing these boxes.
