The only remaining work to be done on the cradle was attaching carpet. I moved the entire assembly outside so I wouldn’t gas myself with contact cement, and 1 hour later, the cradle was complete. Our driveway is somewhat sloped, so I was glad I saved the chocks I made for the Mighty Archer. It’s nice to be able to use them on the Mighty RV – or at least a part of it.

Wing cradle complete

And then it was time to take the wings out of the cradle. As with so many parts of this project, I couldn’t have done it without Ellen. I shanghai’d her right after she got home from work, we unfastened all the clamps and bolts holding the wings in place, and moved them to the cradle. The fit was just about perfect.

The wings are out of the jig!

If you’re an RV builder and have gotten this far, you know what a big deal this is. If not, let’s just say that it’s like giving birth to a child – one major component at at time!
