The wing kit arrived

The wing kit arrived two days ago, and it’s taken me that long to unpack everything and get parts squirreled away in my limited shop space. I lined up some unloading help from my friend and colleague Sam Seagle, but the ABF driver was a whiz with his hydraulic hand lift and was able to get the crate into our garage with no help. Like a lot of delivery folks who stop by the house when the garage door is open, he couldn’t believe that someone would actually build an airplane in their house. Here’s the crate, fortunately no damage on arrival.

Everything is so neatly packed, it’s a shame that it has to be taken out…
…but I did anyway, and managed to store everything but the skins. Got everything checked off the inventory list except the hardware bag.
Now the fun part…inventorying the hardware bag. Ugh.
