4-Mar-00: Moving to West Bend Airport.


The garage looks very crowded before the move begins.



Pushing the fuselage into the light of day.




With the fuselage up on the roadside, it's time to confer with the expert. Marty Pavlovich has done this a couple of times before. The second airplane he built was a 6A. He arranged to borrow the trailer also.




Making sure that the ramp centres are 81" apart.



Initially, there was a problem with the tail scraping as the airplane was moved up the ramps. Putting the vehicle & trailer down the slope into the driveway resolved that problem.



Should I just stand in this position for the journey, or should we tie it down?



Relieved to have it up on the trailer.



Blocks of 2x4 were nailed in front of & behind each wheel, as well as being securely tied down, for the 10 mile journey to West Bend Airport.



Finally into Jim Rodrian's hangar - I'm renting space, which will be shared later this year with Jim's Defiant. The whole event went smoothly, thanks to Marty Pavlovich & Keith Brue.




Keith then helped me move the wings, one at a time in his pickup truck.
